Date Format dd-mmm-yy

Hi, why I see no dd-mmm-yy format date anymore in the settings?
I’ve change my Windows short date to dd-mmm-yy as well.

Because there were too many options, and the one you ask about presents problems during translation. Remember, the software functions in English. A date format such as 10-Feb-22 cannot be translated by a lookup table, which is how translations work in the program.

For data-entry purposes, only digit-based date formats are supported now.

For viewing, other formats could be supported too but is there a reason this is important to you?

but it used to be there, so for the existing companies, it’s still using the DD-MMM-YY, not for the new

indeed, yes, because for example like date 05-07-2022, many times it’s ambiguous whether it’s 5 July or 7 May.

Then use the international date standard (ISO 8601) YYYY-MM-DD
