Question

In My Settings/Options, I can choose a date/time format, but only by choosing a language. The format for Canada is dd/mm/yyyy, and the format for U.S. is mm/dd/yyyy. Being in Canada, and seeing both formats on a regular basis, I never know what I'm looking at! The best way to resolve this is to change my date formats to yyyy/mm/dd. I customize my dates to this whenever possible, for example, my operating system's control panel.

Unfortunately, FogBugz isn't letting me do this! Can there be an option to specify the yyyy/mm/dd format for dates? It's the only sane date format :) It even sorts textually, which makes it easier on my programmer eyes.

Answer 1

Currently there is no way to specify a custom date format in FogBugz other than by using the "Use Browser Format" option as suggested by Markus.

However, I just did a quick check to see which cultures have a date format that starts with "yyyy", and if you select "French (Canada)" for your "Date, Time, and Number Format" you should be all set. There are a number of other cultures that have date formats that start with the year, but French (Canada) is the only one that also uses "$" for the currency symbol (in case that matters to you).
