I would like to use ISO 8601 dates and times - ya know the least ambiguous international standard.

As I understand, when not using sinographs, Japan and China actually use ISO 8601 dash-separated big endian dates, but FogBugz insists on forward/slashes (which is the most ambiguous format used by Europe (little endian) and the dyslexic endian system used in the US).

The Treasury Board of Canada in 1997 required the use of ISO 8601:1988. Unfortunately, "English (Canada)" ignores the TBITS 36 policy standard.

Is there any region that FogBugz supports that does use the yyyy-mm-dd ISO 8601 date format?

I suggest turning this into a feature request, to add the ISO8601 line in the format options. Also, this should be the installation default. The time of local date formats is gone with the dinosaurs. – Pavel Radzivilovsky Mar 13 at 14:05

The following values for "Date, Time, and Number Format":

Swedish (Sweden)
French (Canada)

use the same ISO 8601 notation for dates.

As an engineer, I can't understand why anyone would use something different. :) – Roman Mar 18 2011 at 19:24
