Set first day of week to Monday on calendar widget

[James_Cox]

I could have sworn the first day of the week in the calendar widget used to be Monday.

Now it seems to be Sunday (???) and I can't find a setting to fix it.

Turning off the week-of-year would be good too. This is a pretty irrelevant feature for time tracking and with the super-low contrast theme it confuses things.

Hello James,

Regarding to the first day of the week:

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

For the week-of-year it looks it's not possible to disable it without a deeper customization. A full documentation of the date picker is available here:

This does not seem to work. My setting is (and was already) as described, but still Tuesday is the first day of the week as displayed in the date picker.

Hi @tomd , @Ward Schwillens , there seems to be a bug in the newest Tempo version. 

The Tuesday as a starting day of the week started appearing after our Tempo was updated to the newer version. Previously it was properly showing Monday.

Same thing happens at our site after upgrade! Seems like they have released a hotfix for it: https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SERVERNEWS/pages/303104112/2018-10-15+Tempo+Timesheets+for+Server+8.15.1+Release .

Doesn't work

This not works, in Jira version v8.9.0.

We are evaluating the product for purchasing and are surprised that an "small" BUG from 2017 is still present in 2020.

We set ISO8601, and calendars always show us "sunday" as first day of the week.

This is a problem for spanish people, when working with Jira. You are used to see "monday" as first day in every spanish located / translated software, and Scrum Masters set a bad start / end day for Sprints because this bug.

Please, reopen this bug, is important for us.

Thanks in advance.
