Date format in date editing control does not respect locale settings

When viewing an entry with a date in it, it shows in the correct format - dd/MM/yyyy. You then hit the edit button, and it switches to MM/dd/yyyy.

As a side, the control is very hard to use, as you have to use the popup calendar to navigate to the month you want and select the day. Really, we just want to be able to type 21/02/1992 and be done with it.

Hello folks,

Our developers have released improvements to how 1Password handles date formatting in the latest version of the 1Password desktop app (8.10.80). You can read more here: Improved date formatting in the 1Password desktop app

This update resolves the issue reported by the original poster in this thread where you might have seen different date formats when viewing and when editing an item in certain situations.

If you still see an issue with version 8.10.80 (or later) then please post a screenshot of what you see in the 1Password app and your current operating system region/date settings in the new thread. I'll close this old thread in order to keep the conversation in one place.

Hello @cpmcgrath! 👋

I'm sorry that 1Password is showing the wrong date format. This is a known issue that our developers are currently investigating and working to fix in a future version of 1Password.

Would you mind posting a screenshot of your region, language and date settings from Windows so that I can verify that you're running into this known issue?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Incorrect behaviour around date format not respecting regional settings as per thread.

The date appears correct when viewing entries, though it is incorrect when creating new items or editing existing entries.

If 1Pass can't yet format dates based on users' locales, it should at least use the unambiguous ISO format. It still places month before day but everyone knows what's what when you use YYYY-MM-DD. https://alessandrorossini.org/we-can-put-an-end-to-month-day-year-dates/

1Password should respect the system date format but there are cases where that isn't occurring, such as if you have a different region set from your preferred language, and our development team is actively working on the issue.

I apologize for the inconvenience. Keep an eye on our release notes which will mention a fix as soon as it is released: https://releases.1password.com/

@1P_Dave I get that, but it's still using a poor default. From my logs (that also have the good sense to use ISO dates):
text
INFO 2024-11-06T23:07:01.540+00:00 ThreadId(18) [1P:op-localization/src/lib.rs:230] system locale detected as 'en-GB'
INFO 2024-11-06T23:07:01.543+00:00 ThreadId(18) [1P:op-localization/src/lib.rs:256] selected translations for EN_US based on detected locale en-GB

Even if the locales are improved, it's quite possible there will continue to be edge cases, and in those cases U.S. formats should not be the default. If the translation locale is not an exact match of the system's, it should still fall back to ISO.
