Date format standardization
Nate
[From support ticket] It would benefit ClickUp if it could follow similar date format across everything. Having DD MMM is great, but when year is involved it's shown as dd/mm/yy. It would be nice to always follow DD MMM YY so there is uniformity across the list.

PLEASE!!!. This is extremely annoying and breaks my flow when trying to review a list with dates like: "12/15/23", "Feb 4", "Tomorrow", "11/25/22", "4 days ago"... all in one column. You have to export it to excel just to make it easier to read. I dont want to be doing date calculations in my head, especially when todays relative date is not important. This cutesy function might work for Betty Sue, but anyone who deals with dates day-in-day-out, this is outright confusing. PLEASE.PLEASE.PLEASE.PLEASE fix this abomination of a "feature". PLEASE give us an opt-out option. You store every thing in EPOCH time format in the back end. This should be easy!

Any time the year is showing as two digits, it introduces potential confusion. Currently the date format option shows as "yyyy" yet it continues to show as only "24". If you are giving us the option of "yyyy/mm/dd", actually show it in that format.

It's very important as ClickUp doesn't offer many translations, so DD/MM/YYYY is very versatile format. It's very bad if you create automation which should send e-mail which is in your language, but then date comes in 30 Jul, 2023 format. That's very inconvenient!!

I want to be able to create date format dd/mm/yyyy in the Docs section. Thanks

Use consistent dates.

Instead of using for example Jan 8 for some and 1/8/2021 use all full dates. (Submitted via Intercom)

I also would like to have this feature.
When I'm viewing a task's history, the datetime is shown in the "Jun 6 at 12:39" or "Yesterday at 16:49" format.
Even more, if the date is in the current year, it does not show the year, but if it is in a past year, it shows like something like "Nov 24 2021 at 17:22".
I really don't like this kind of constant changing display format. I prefer much more something like "2022-06-30 10:01".
In my opinion, the use of relative terms such as “Today” or “Yesterday” is not very useful, but the lack of absolutely timestamps (like the datetime itself) is a huge disadvantage.
I tried to change the “Time Format” in “My Settings”, but it does not affect the tasks.
Finally, as mentioned by Marvin in a previous comment, it is very confusing for people from other counties. I'm from Brazil, where we also use DD/MM/YYYY format (but, personally, i prefer a YYYY-MM-DD format).

See https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/date-format-add-yyyy-mm-dd-iso-8601 - ISO makes a lot of sense. But please make it configurable.

This feature would be helpful as it would more consistent and help with portability to other apps.

depends on whom is seen the information, it may be confused sometimes, because mix 2 different standards to interpretate.

Please, in order to make it even quicker, we copy paste date infos in some google sheets/excel, it comes with "6 days ago", instead of the used date format mm/dd/yyyy

Guilherme: This would benefit me a lot too - our team use this to submit views and uniformity and quick view of the date would be good
