Hi @Robert Lord Could you add some more info here to help me understand where in the app you’re looking for the dates to display?

So many places. All the places. I reckon this is a system-wide preference per user.
For my business, who does what depends on the day of the week.
Here’s task management. I have different cleaners available to work for me on different days of the week. What day of the week is Aug 20th? I have to look it up presently.
Here’s an email notification of a cleaner accepting a task. What day of the week did Grace accept a task for? Is it her usual day of the week or is this that one I asked her if she could do for someone else on a day that’s not her default day? I have to look it up rather than be clued in by the day of the week. The date is listing three times and none of them include the day of the week. The year is listed in one of the instances. Doh!
This is a daily time sinker for me. What I’d like a consistent “Fri Mar 20 1:32 PM” aka “ddd MMM D h:mm A” everywhere in the web views in browser and app and in system emails. The ironic thing is that I can customize my messages to guests to include day of week (although maybe not in "ddd MMM D h:mm A” format exactly?), but not my own Hospitable interfaces, system emails, system SMSs, etc.
Thanks for reaching out for real-life examples. Let me know if I can be more helpful!
