Request for Calendar and Date Format preferences

[Michael_L]

Hello Square team,

will you please add the option for us to adjust the calendar and date display settings?

This would be especially valuable in at least two places:

• When a calendar 'picker' is displayed, showing the entire month, the weekend is all on the right side.  This is so unfamiliar to me - in calendar stores locally all our printed calendars here are SMTWTFS (they start on Sunday) and even places like my Windows tray calendar defaults to that format - but Square uses MTWTFSS.  I'm not sure if that 2nd version is standard where you are, but it's confusing when trying to schedule a promotion that follows the calendar week.
• When the date is displayed, please allow us to set preferences for what sequence.  Both DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY are confusing because there's no way to tell whether someone is using one or the other for the first 12 days of every month.  There is actually an ISO official format and it would be ideal if that was an option.

Here in Canada and also according to the International Standards Organization the most common recognized format is YYYY-MM-DD - at least in digital formats and software.  It especially shines when used on filenames or other text that can be sorted, and there is no confusion about the date for a third of the month.

Please consider - or just add this 🙂 - to your developer's Github / list of requests.  Thanks!

... I thought I did...!  I clicked your link and made a post where I landed.  Did I somehow get misdirected?

Your last post linked me to: https://www.sellercommunity.com/t5/Feature-Requests/ct-p/Feature-Request-

I clicked "Dashboard" and ended up here.

Wait the last link was provided by @Ellie - yours has 'Beta' in it and does not allow me to choose "Dashboard" for making a feature request. Now what?

Great question @Michael_L - it looks like the Square Dashboard Ideate Board for the Canadian Seller Community is under the "Team Management" icon. 

To clarify, do you see it there and are just being rerouted?

Feel free to upload a screenshot of what you see and we can take a look further.
