How can we get month to show as letters in our date fields?

I understand that a users Format Culture drives the way date is displayed. Is there a way to modify the date format within a Format Culture? or is there an existing format culture that uses dd-MMM-yy ? with letters for the month? Is there a document that lists all of the existing format culture settings?

We do a lot of international Inter company trading and one side or the other is always confused on the date…

This seemed to work in a BAQ. I didn’t do any format culture changes or whatever.

Where do you want to display the date?

That’s a cool trick. But I want to show it throughout the application, in all the screens, everywhere. Job due date, PO due date, etc.

This is in User Account Maintenance. I changed mine in test to this

and got this in order entry for an existing order

which is this in live

But I do not know of a culture setting that does the Month not numerical.

As far as I know, that is not possible without customizing each and every location that the date appears. Sorry! Good luck!

I wonder if the browser version allows this kind of mass change via CSS?

Doesn’t look promising. Might be possible with a third party tool and a predictable date format. (cough ISO8601 cough)

ISO8601 looks fine to me, I just need to make sure no one is confused when doing in international trading. Do any of the culture formats use ISO8601?
