Description Oliver Brinzing 2004-02-27 12:07:18 UTC

Hi,

I am using the "DD.MM.YYYY" as short date format 
on my w2k computer.

Entering a date e.g. "27.03." into a calc cell with 
SO 5.2 changes it to automatically to "23.03.2004"

With S0 7.0 the standard date format does not change ...
it's always "DD.MM.YY" ....

Same happens with writer if you insert the field 
command date ... 

Is it a bug or a new feature ?

regards 

Oliver

Hi,

this is not a bugreport but an support request. Such questions are answered on
the mailing lists, especially users@...

I've checked it both with SO5.2 and OOo1.1.1, in both cases the same result
23.03.04.

Hi Oliver,

nothing is taken from the system. All comes out of the internationalization
framework. So this is a new feature introduced since SO6.

reopening because there is no possibility to set the date format according to
the system settings by default. Only way is to change it in the source code and
compile it by yourself.

Hi Bettina,

using SO5.2 we are able to use the system settings for the date format. Starting
with SO6 this was changed, starting with this version this setting was not taken
from the system anymore. So we lost a bit of usability. Thew decission was made
to do so, so I flag this one as enhancement.

See also issue 31663.

If it isn't possible, that OOo uses the date-format of the system there must be 
the possibility to determine this in the optionmenu.
German: Extras-Optionen-Spracheinstellungen-Sprachen.

What's about my last comment.
It's irritating to change the dateformat every time you insert a date in a 
document. 
BTW, I know there is a macro to do this. But this is no final solution for me.

Comment 11 jolatt 2006-01-17 10:18:52 UTC

Change issuetype from enhancement to defect.

Using the system date format or setting a default date format is a normal 
requirement to a office software.

Comment 12 jolatt 2006-09-03 15:58:13 UTC

Whats about this issue.

It concerns all modules of OOo not only the spreadsheet.
I would prefer the manual setting of the standard date format.
