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
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.

1Password has had problems with date formatting for input and display since v8 first came out years ago, with little progress in that time. They fix date related problems in one area, and introduce new issues elsewhere.
I don't know whether its the same for you, but for me, whilst entering a date, the format is mm/dd/yyyy but then when not editing, the same date switches to dd/mm/yyyy format as it should be for my locale.
I know dealing with dates can be complicated in programming in general, but this has been going on for years, and is a fundamental aspect of the app, yet remains unfixed after all this time.
They've even recently added an expiration date field to items in the beta, but this suffers from the same ancient date formatting bugs as other date fields. You'd think they'd fix the date formatting functionality first, before introducing new date related features that just highlight these bugs.
