Memos-insert date and time: how to change date and time format?

I just realized that the date and time format in memos has been changed.

 

Before, it was like this: 22-Feb-2020 13:30:05 (i.e., day-month-year and a 24 hour time format).

 

Now it looks like this: 11/1/2022 10:05:06 PM JDK (i.e., month-day-year and a 12 hour time format.

 

Needless to say, I have not made any time/date format in Profile or in my computer.

How can I change it to the original format?

Hi Mario,

 

I checked the date format (in settings) before and they are in the correct format, i.e., day/month/year, yet the memos had a different format. Today I tried to change the time format and suddenly the date format is working correct.

 

Regards,

Memos-insert date and time: how to change date and time format?

January 18,  2023

 

Hi Mario,

 

When I was creating a memo, I noticed that the date and time formats were again incorrect: [1/18/2023 2:34:38 PM]. I checked the settings and they are correct. I'm sending a screenshot, showing the Windows Settings and the Memo format.

 

I'd appreciate any advice.

 

Regards,

 

Jack

Memos-insert date and time: how to change date and time format?

Hello again Jack, I tried it on my computer and its working fine, I am on version 2.5. Once the MEMO is created, the data and time is created with the format requested in the regional settings. If these settings are changed the date and time format of the memo will not be updated. If you create a new one, it will take the format set in the control panel. That's how it works on my machine, is this different on yours? (and by the way what is your windows OS version)

Hi Mario,

 

As you can see on my screen shot, my regional settings are set to day/month/year and a 24 hour time format. 

However, my memos look like this: [1/24/2023 5:43:05 PM].

 

I'm using Windows 10 Professional.
