Please allow the date format to be customise to the user’s locale. There’s only one country that uses mm-dd-yyyy format so in an international context this is really confusing. I don’t want to have to keep wondering what the date means and this leading to confusion.

For me, if I was involved in a buying decision in buying Lucid then this would be a flat no from me at this point.

When importing from jira, the date will come through in ISO format, therefore there is no issue with Jira - the presentation layer is abstracted from the underlying format and codified through locale logic in Lucid. 

Please edit the typo in the title, thanks


Hi ​@CraigC, thank you for your feedback! I can certainly see how this would be beneficial to other countries with different date and time formats, thank you for sharing.

It’s not limited to Jira cards. It’s everywhere in Lucid. Everything must be consistent and in the user’s locale. For Jira specifically, the dates are coming through from Jira in ISO standard format, so you are taking a decision in your business logic layer to translate the ISO format into US specific format. That’s the point where you should be picking up the settings in the user’s browser and using that instead, however this comment is not restricted to Jira, it’s everywhere dates are used.

 

Digital Equipment Co Ltd and Microsoft both US based companies largely solved this problem in the 1980s.
