There an option named Use ISO8601 standard in Date Picker in JIRA Administration > System > Look and Feel. Check the option and it will make Monday as the first day for date picker.

I changed this setting and it had no impact in the next-gen project

This setting "Use ISO8601 standard in Date Picker" seems to have no effect:

Same problem here, no matter the ISO setting, calendar will start on Sunday.

It's quite annoying, my staff keeps scheduling tasks by mistake on Sunday, I would really appractiate a fix for this

Go to

  1. Administration > System > User Interface > Look and Feel
  2. Scroll down to the "Date/Time Formats" section
  3. Look for Use ISO8601 standard in Date Picker and select the checkbox
  4. Update the field value

Turning it on will cause Monday to be the first day of week in the Date Picker, as specified by the ISO8601 standard

Still not working. Any reason that this could not be taken into account? Maybe something else is overriding it...

I believe Jira attempts to follow the locale, but I could not find verification of that.

I did find this support ticket that discusses how to change the calendar to a Monday start date. I suggest you test out on a test environment since the directions are not straight forward.
