Date range filter does not respect date format settings
Describe the bug
The date range filter always displays dates in a long format (“September 9, 2025”), even though the global date format under Admin Settings → Localization is set to a different format.
To Reproduce
- Go to Admin Settings → Localization → Dates and times, and set Date Style to a specific format (e.g., “31 Jan, 2018”).
-
Create a dashboard with a date range filter.
-
Select a date range in the dashboard and observe the filter displaying the range in a different format.
Expected behavior
The date range filter should respect the global date format settings defined in Admin Settings → Localization.
