Date format settings for project/view

Open Doodidan opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

What would you like to be added?

I would like to have option to choose/setup date format for view.

Why is this needed?

It's always American style date format now. But it's unusual for not-Americans so it would be pretty good to have this option

For reference, this is how the calendar plugin allows the user to override the locale:

See the Override locale option under Advanced Settings.

The plugin uses Intl.DateTimeFormat()https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/DateTimeFormat) to display dates according to the system locale.

We should definitely make it configurable though.

Note that this would configure how dates are displayed rather than how they are parsed.

Changing the OS regional format has no effect. The entire display language needs to be changed, which is not ideal. Could you implement an option to manually adjust this?
