Change the Jira time to 24 hours format

[Madhu Reddy]

Hello Team,

We have a few queries related to the Jira time stamp. Please help us with the below..

1. We would like to change the jira time stamp to 24 hours format instead of seeing AM/PM.
2. Also we want to show DATE & TIME stamp (DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM)  in the ticket activity instead of 2 days ago, few hours ago. 

Please help us to achieve the above 2 points.

Thanks & Regards

Madhu

As per Atlassian Team:

In order to change the date format in Jira Cloud, you can go to Cog icon > System > Look and feel, which is mentioned in the documentation you shared.

Also, on Cog icon > System > General configuration > Advanced settings, you can change the format of the date picker.

As in regards to display absolute date/time value instead of the default relative format, it is still not available for CLOUD env.  There is a workaround for Data Center however.  I would recommend that you add yourself as an watcher of this existing request - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-41506

Changing date/time settings in Advanced settings has no effect on any displayed date or date/time picker fields.

Did you also change the Looks and Feels section too?

Hope this helps.

Thanks, this did help with filters and queue display.

Still, the log work pop-up shows AM/PM but at least, once entered there, the log displays it correctly.

"Log Work" is a part of Time Tracking implementation in Jira/JSM.  I would recommend you to submit a formal support request with Atlassian Support Team with your ask.  Let's see what they have to say about it.

(for cloud) I just figured it out. Time format is not in a global setting but personal. Go to Personal settings (or straight to this link), choose profile settings page and then set the Language to English UK and choose your time zone. Not possible to do company wide, every user should set it up themselves

And: Good to see it's possible to use the English language setting (because field translations / original field values are best for me there) together with that great non-US 24 hr time format.

Just choose: English (UK).

Hello!
Anybody got any tips for how to get 24h format in the Jira Worklog timepicker?
Is this not configurable at all and has to be done by Atlassian?
No matter what I configure in the datepicker format the time tracking still shows am/pm and US format :( Not very good...
