'Created' and 'Updated' column showing invalid/wrong dates.

[Rasik Aryal]

When I add 'Created' and 'Updated' column, the dates shown are wrong/invalid. For example, in the picture above, I sorted the created date by latest to oldest. The date shown are 47/08/2022. What is that format?? What is 47 supposed to be? How to i make it shown DD/MM/YYYY format?

Hello @Rasik Aryal 

Welcome to the community.

The format for displaying those dates is a System level configuration setting. Your Jira Administrator would be able to modify that. 

The setting can be found under the gear icon (Settings) > System > Look And Feel.

It is the Date/Month/Year Format setting on that page.

The formatting strings are free text, so open to errors.

My guess would be someone put in "m" instead of "M", so you are getting "minute" instead of "Month"  (in what should be the day field)
