New Issue View does not respect Jira's Advanced Settings Date Format

      Atlassian Update - 11 June 2021

      Hi everyone, thanks again for the interest on this ticket. We’re marking this ticket as closed now because a workaround has been released to solve the issue of "users always being forced into the American format of mm/dd/yyyy" by allowing each user to format their dates and times on the new issue view based on their language preferences. For many of you, this workaround solved the problem. (see details of workaround in May 24th update - it will be cross posed at bottom of this section as well)

       

      For those customers that still face challenges with this solution we have opened a new ticket JRACLOUD-76814 where we will gather interest specifically on when the user level language based settings is not a viable solution. Please comment on this new ticket to let us know your specific use case (i.e. why it’s important to have a specific date/time settings, and whether you’d like it at admin or user level), so we can ensure the experience we release works for you.

      For those concerned about their calendar locking Sunday as the first day of the week, watch and comment on this ticket: JRACLOUD-71611

      Cross-post May 24th update on workaround

      • Users can now change the default edit and display of both date and date/time fields, using their language/locale setup (i.e. "en_AUS" or "Dutch") instead of being forced into the American month/day/year display only. Here’s how to setup yours: https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-your-language-preferences/.
      • For those using language not supported (i.e. Greek). We suggest you choose UK English as your preference to get the desired display of day/month/year.

      The Atlassian Product Team

      Atlassian Update - 24 May 2021

      Our research has shown that (1) significant portion of existing use cases for “date/time advanced settings” is to configure a date/time that makes sense for a specific location/country (2) cross geographic collaboration is a common and increasing use case that requires different date/time display between users within the same instance. To better adapt our product to this, we’ll progressively roll-out the following changes in upcoming days.

      • Users can now change the default edit and display of both date and date/time fields, using their language/locale setup (i.e. "en_AUS" or "Dutch") instead of being forced into the American month/day/year display only. Here’s how to setup yours: https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-your-language-preferences/. For those using language not supported (i.e. Greek). We suggest you choose UK English as your preference to get the desired display of day/month/year.
      • As part of shifting such setting to the user level, in long term, we’ll remove the advanced admin setting of custom date/time format (which currently can be found under: System->User Interface->Look and feel->Date/time format). In the interim, warning message of “advanced date picker settings will no longer be supported” will appear.

       

       

      Unable to change the due date format in the pop-up view for Jira projects. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In the Advanced Settings, change the date format to any format. (see below for format used in this example)

      Expected Results

      The due date should be in the format configured (dd.MM.yy)

      Actual Results

      The due date remains in the same American format (yyyy-mm-dd)

      Notes

      This problem also affects other features that use dates, such as the Time Tracking feature. When logging work, the date field also does not respect the settings applied:

      • Configuration:
      • Actual results:

      This only happens in the backlog issue view screen. In the issue, details view the format is as configured. It also affects the ISO8601 standard in Date Picker (Sunday first day of the week instead of Monday).

      There is currently no workaround for this.
