Jira sprint dates are showing in MM/DD/YYYY American format on the Edit Form.

How do I get this fixed i.e. so it picks up the Windows date and language settings like every other windows app ?

Hi @Michael Green

Thanks for the question.

Jira's date format is controlled by Jira’s own locale settings, not your computer’s.

I think you could change it in the Look and Fill section, but this impacts all users.

Check it in this section.

Hi @Michael Green

Did you change the " yourdomain part to your domain?

If yes, please also provide a screenshot. I will help figure it out.

The look&feel datetime is in European format in my account, however the sprint start and end date is still in US format.

How can I fix this?
