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. The product development team regularly reviews feedback within this space as they research new features and product enhancements.
We encourage anyone else who’s interested in this to upvote this post and share any additional details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience. For more information about how we manage feedback in this community, please take a look at this post:
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.
Hi @CraigC, sorry for any misunderstanding and thank you for clarifying with those details. We highly value your feedback and are committed to continually improving our products. I’ve updated the title of this post to reflect your comment here.

@CraigC We appreciate you sharing the feedback here. I can understand this is a frustrating experience that you are running into.
I see you have shared that the date format is showing up all throughout Lucid - thank you for that context. I’d love to see this fixed throughout the entire product but would also like to better understand where you’re experiencing this pain the most.
In the context of Jira Cards and your experience on the canvas with them, are there specific places you experience the pain the most? Is it when dates have been added to the card face? Or in usage in timelines?
Appreciate you taking the time to share the feedback - I’ve recorded it and we will keep it in mind as we look at prioritizing upcoming work.
It’s everywhere the US date format is used. All date formats must be in the user’s locale as swapping between date formats such is 10/11/2025 and 11/10/2025 with knowing which is which is a recipie for confusion. It’s like deciding to drive on the right or the left some of the time. It does not work.
