Ability to change date format to correspond to the user's region
Hi. In the question type where a date is required currently the only option (as far as I can see) is the US format. Can you kindly give us the ability to choose the region settings for this please? Thanks.

I find it rediculous that in 2021, Microsoft does not have the simple option of using DD/MM/ Yyyy when most of the world uses this format

Completely agree, we need dates in the UK dd/mm/yyyy format, and have done since before this request was opened over FOUR YEARS AGO! School children are using these forms now and the date format is very confusing and undoing our good work teaching them the right way.

This is GLOBAL Microsoft issue. Everywhere in TEAMs and SHAREPOINT regardless of Tenant Regional Settings. A 12 year old child can understand the complete illogical and down right sociopathic refusal of Microsoft to match the needs of 80% of thier users who use the only logical DD/MM/YYYY format.

In French, "jj/mm/aaa" should be displayed rather than "dd/mm/yyyy"

At least have the month in letters but the US must realise that it is the only country in the world to use the mm/dd/yyyy format.

Absolutely need yyyy-mm-dd
And start of a week from Monday!!!
All this Without the need to change the English language to my region's language (since we use English for work)I can't believe it is not possible in 2021!

Its small things like this that stop users adopting whole heartedly the microsoft platform. If I cannot use the date format dd/mm/yyyy then I have to use other platforms. Simple really
