Cannot change date format to DD/MM/YYYY

I want to change the date field to the format DD/MM/YYYY

I see a setting under Advanced, but there is only English (US) which is not what I want.
I set it to System defaults, but it does not seem to work. My system locale is most definitely DD/MM/YYYY as seen in the time and date in Windows.

So how can I set the date format to DD/MM/YYYY?

1Password Version: 8.5.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: W11

    Yes, that is very much needed. Still do not understand why the rest of the English speaking world is forced to use the silly US date format that is not used by anyone else.

    but it also changes everything to German
    For me, this is okay. But I understand your concern... 😕

    Hi DenalB ,

    Yes, changing the locale within 1Password settings to German does give the correct Date format I want, but it also changes everything to German, which I do not understand.

    That is the same with the production 8.5.0 and also in the Beta 8.6.0 26Beta.

    Hi @ccal !

    I'm using 1Password 8 beta build 8.6.0-26 on a German Windows 11 and for me the date format is DD/MM/YYYY as you can see on my screenshot.

    Maybe you could try the beta build if it looks different to you?
