New/Selected Existing Transaction Date Format Does Not Match Default/Preferred Date Format

bimmer4me

In an account Register window, the DATE FORMAT generated for a new transaction or an existing selected transaction (MM/DD/YYYY) does NOT match the default date format of the other existing transactions in the Register (DD/MM/YYYY), making entering/editing the date a tricky and irritating process. "Feature" or "Flaw"?

Using Version 7.3.2 (Build 703.50456.100) on Mac OSX 14.0.

Language & Region date format is correct/preferred (DD/MM/YYYY) and all entries in the Register display are also correct for existing/unselected entries.

CTRL-N for a new transaction OR selecting/double-clicking an existing entry for editing pops the format to MM/DD/YYYY however. See screen grab.

I have the same problem, and it's also present if you define a set of custom dates in the register to filter out transactions (i.e. 2023-11-01 to 2023-11-30). Editing a transaction or entering custom dates is done in MM-DD-YYYY. My Mac is setup to use YYYY-MM-DD.

Version 7.4.1 (Build 704.51555.100) on macOS 14.1.2.
