Date notation for adding new artworks as a hunter are all American style (month/day/year). As a European native, this feels a bit counterintuitive for me and sometimes I (almost) mess up. Is there any way to make this a setting in your personal profile, or even make it dependable on your locale?

Agree with this request, here in Australia this is an unusual date format and is very confusing. Month/Day/Year makes no sense at all really.

Totally agreed. Most of the countries use the day/month/year format. Makes sense to use this.

Absolutely 100% agree. I asked about this about 8 months ago in a mega-feedback post. Not sure if it’s been tracked, so adding my support for this, always a mind shift when it comes to adding in the date.

Hi all,
It’s been tracked now. The date notation is a bit annoying, totally agree.
It’s on our long pending to do list.
We like the feedback, and not everything can be immediately implemented. When we look back to… 1 year ago? Our platform, web / app underwent already some incredible good improvements. Step by Step… :).
Have a nice weekend to all
Hi all - thanks for this!
We’ve now updated the date picker to show dates in a format that is less open to interpretation.

Thanks for the effort Thomas. I really don’t want to come over ungrateful, but this actually made it a bit worse…
Now we can’t type in a date at all anymore and are forced to use the date picker. And even though now it’s more clear that the date is backwards, it’s still backwards.
This week I added an artwork created in 2018, it would take me forever to click to that old a date in the date picker.

Hmm, I also don’t feel this is the right way. I like having to type the date in directly and save time.
Perhaps I can recommend this date picker? It allows users to either use the date selector or type the date in correctly and verify with the calendar below. Allows for greater choice and clearer interpretation.
Like this example, except change the dots (unsure why its dots) into slashes (i.e. 23/07/2003) and maybe switch the positions of the month and year around, looks strange. Dev post here. And it’s also in the DD-MM-YYYY date notation too (the right format). The calendar is there to support those moving from the MM-DD-YYYY format if this change can be enacted.
Sorry @brggsr - didn’t see your comment before starting a new round of work on this.
I think I found a way to do the best of both worlds:
- Accepts text input (with natural language parsing, so also allows things like ‘last monday’, and parses ‘10-12-2024’ as Dec 10th, as expected)
- Clicking on the calendar icon brings up the old date picker
