Date Format Using '//'

richardofrugeley

I created a Meeting Notes page using a template. When I insert a date using the '//' shortcut, the date format in the prompt is mm-dd-yyyy. Before now the prompt has been dd-mm-yyyy so I'm wondering what has changed. The date format shown on the page after insertion is as expected.

I asked another user to edit the saved meeting notes page and for him the prompt is dd-mm-yyyy.

I accessed the Meeting Notes blueprint from the space content tools and the date prompt there is mm-dd-yyyy.

I recently changed computer (from Win7 to 10). I checked the Regional settings and both the short and long date formats are dd/mm/yyyy.

Any suggestions how I might change the date prompt I see when using the '//' tool?

Hi Richard,

The Date Picker format depends on which language you have set for your user in Confluence. It will display the most typical one for that language.

For example, if you have English (US) set, the week will start on a Sunday and show mm/dd/yyyy. If you set it to English (UK) it starts on a Monday and shows dd/mm/yyyy

I hope this helps!

Fantastic! I changed "Automatically detect browser setting" to "English UK" and it worked.

@Shannon Spaniol mine is set up as English (United States)

But on the ITS-PRO tempo timesheet, the dates are displaying as DD.MM instead of MM/DD.

For example, today is May 8.

The date should show as 05/08. Instead, it shows as 08.05, which makes me think it is August 5.

This is very confusing, as this is not the USA format for dates.

Please, please PLEASE, HOW CAN WE FIX THE DATE FORMAT???????????????

I used Date picker for assigning tasks and suddenly date format shows "Today" or "Mon, Nov 29" even my setting is English UK. I did not change anything in my settings and still date format is suddenly different.
