[sw-issues] [Issue 30216] Ability to set the default date format

The ISO has multiple date standards, with 8601 being the most prevalent, but the ISO does not restrict the possibility of multiple standards (for example ISO has ratified both OpenDocument and OfficeOpenXML). Keeping any single standard ISO, or by location should only be a default, and as a user I should be able to use/define the standard that is appropriate to me and my needs. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It remains my biggest irritation with Writer. My workaround is that I include a date in my preferred format at the top of my default template. Then I press Delete if my document does not need a date. Why should I need to do this? Letters are probably the biggest use for Writer. Every letter needs a date in the format required by the user. With a name like OPEN Office, why not make the default date format OPEN to the user? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

My problem with your spreadsheet is your default date format of DD/MM/. I prefer to adhere to International Standard (ISO 8601) date format of -MM-DD. I have configured my Windows XP to adhere to International Standard (ISO 8601) -MM-DD for date and 24-hour HH:MM:SS for time. . True, although you allow me to change the date format, you make it very difficult for me to do so. You give me no way to override your default. I live in Canada. The old date format here WAS (in the PAST) DD/MM/. But the Standards Council of Canada has changed that by adopting the International (ISO 8601) of -MM-DD. . Your =NOW() function does not even include the following in its list of formats: -MM-DD HH:MM:SS . There would be less confusion for you and me and everybody else if everybody were to agree to a single date-format standard -- which is the reason for the existence of International Standards. However, instead of encouraging users to adhere to International ISO8601, by imposing your defaults on users, you are discouraging users from adhering to International Standards. .

The default date, time, and number formats should be taken from the operating system where possible. The user should be able to set their own formats throughout OOo, including dialogs, and for individual documents. The user should not be forced to use “locale” settings, which cannot always match the needs of particular industries or organizations, or the quirks of guys like me. This problem has been here since 2004. I guess the developers don’t care about usability. ——Solo Owl - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
