The date format for “modified” when viewing documents is in the US mm/dd/yyyy format; there should be an option to either personalise this, or the date format should be taken from regional settings.

The dd/mm/yyyy format is by far the most commonly used across the globe.

HI

 

I have just started using Lucid Charts and I am in the UK.

 

I agree the date format is not useful.

In my Recent Documents I need to easily see which ones were update and when. having MM/DD/YY can lead to mistakes.

 

I agree that the  date should be set by the user’s locale and not fixed to the one country that uses that format.

 

I see this has been mentioned for almost 2 years, it should’t take that long to fix the issue.

 

Thank you
