Date format settings...

Hi All,

My first question here in the community, and it may be a little bit of a silly one, but I can't seem to work out how to change the fate formatting for my country. If I navigate to:

Settings -> Administration -> System Settings -> Formats

The format is what I want it to be:

So for short date YYYY-MM-DD, and for long date DD MMM YYYY (which is the default selection apparently for South Africa).

but when I open up an opportunity (or anything I have tested so far), it always displays like this: 5621.Display.PNG

So MM/DD/YYY.

How do I update this? I have tried customizing it in the Format section, but it gives me no options to do that:

Ie. Clicking on the date format only has the one option.

In terms of permissions, I have system administration rights.

I am completely stumped - any help would be really appreciated!

Hi Jacob,

You updated the system settings, but all the dates you see are going to be set to your User's settings. Edit your User's personal options from the gear next to your user image and set that to English (South Africa) and you'll see the updates immediately.

Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as the Verified answer.

Thanks,

Aiden
