I've searched for forum posts and can't see anything related to this.

The date format on our new XCP-ng interface only seems to show US dates (MM/DD/YY), which is pretty confusing for us here in Australia!
I can't see anything in the settings to change this, is there something I'm missing?

I'm guessing it's pretty confusing for most non-US people, including Swedes.

Note that we have 0 XO or XCP-ng dev based in the US neither

Hi @robbie-c, could you send a screenshot ? is that in XO ?

robbie-c

@julienXOvates
Sure. This is the backups page in XCP-ng...!

Any update on this? It is a drawback. It is also in the wrong format under snapshots. XO 5 has the format:

July 17, 2026 or 2026-07-17 depending on the screen.

@acomav We will actually propose to change the date and time format in XO6 settings, so you would be able to choose between :

YYYY-MM-DD
MM/DD/YYYY
DD/MM/YYYY
and 12h or 24h time format.
Hopefully in one of the next 3 months !
I hope that will answer your need, otherwise let me know !

Thanks for putting this one the roadmap, for one of the next 3 months. That date order issue, has been bugging me as if you are rushed off your feet, may not remember that it’s the US date order.

Also fits in more with the rest of European software used, or configured for the European localisation.
