Date format is incorrect in 1Password for Mac
Hi, greetings from the UK.
I noticed that the date / time format for created / modified uses North American format (ie. back to front for us Brits).

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.

Hey Team!
I see that there is ongoing work on date formatting, and wanted to add some behaviour that I am experiencing - couldn't find similar on the thread.
release: 1Password for Mac 8.10.33
platform: macOS Sonoma 14.5
Settings on laptop:
* region: Australia
* preferred language: English (UK)
Steps to recreate behaviour:
* Create a new item type: Login.
* Add a "date" attribute to the item.
* The date defaults to current date in US format eg: 06/10/2024, and I have to update in US format.
* Then save the item, and the date displays in correct format for Australia: 10/06/2024
As others have mentioned - very confusing to the user when the day is 1-12 and cannot be distinguished from the month by value.
The only indicator of the date format Is that when you add the new date attribute it defaults to current date. I would also prefer, in this case, where there is uncertainty of the date format being used, if it defaulted to MM/DD/YYYY - I think it is more obvious/standard/recognisable quickly, but also very unlikely that the date being entered will be set to the current date. I do however understand you'll be across a variety of use cases where this may be most appropriate.
