So on the backend, a lot of my dates are like "tomorrow" and "next week" and "2 days ago".

These are pretty useless.

Can i get it to please display real dates? I know if you mouse over you get a real date, but like why would anyone want to be so vague as to put "last week". OK when last week? you know what i mean!!!! you want the users to whip out a calculator to count back 4 days? what the heck is the point of that.

 

How do i make all these friendly or cutesy dates into real hard dates. Seems to display properly on the front end, just the backend has this weirdness.

Example:

man i cant do it per project? of course.. well thanks.

some people like these dates the way they are "relative" and some people do not. So since i cant do it on a per project basis i will just leave it like this.

And of course another thing to remember to copy back over during an upgrade no doubt.

thanks for the info.

Please simply click on a date in incident view. IT should change between relative to standard

It works for me :)
