International date format

Question

Is there a way to force AGOL to display dates in data tables in any format besides the American default? My organisation is Australian. Our organisation settings are set up correctly:

Region: Australia,

Language: English - English,

Number and date format: Australia - Australia‎.

Member settings are inherited from the organisation so it's not an issue of personal setting overriding to American datetime.

However, all of our tables where there is a default date column still displays using mm/dd/yyyy format. This is fine in some cases where it is clearly evident i.e. 1/31/2026 but the majority of cases this is incredibly misleading for pretty much everyone.

Popups I can configure to display in the default Australian format, but this shouldn't need to be the case. The data should default to respect our settings.

Check your computer's locale settings. 
Sometimes the US manages to creep into unwanted spots after a Windows update. 
I once had these settings changed unknowingly and it confused me a lot as nothing in Pro / AGOL was set incorrectly.

@DavidChanIWC  - There are organization settings and there are user specific settings. 
Try changing them in the user profile settings.

It took us a while to realize this. 
Hope this helps.

Hi @DavidChanIWC,

Yes, you can display the date in the table using the format you describe. First, make sure the settings (in My Settings) are set to Australia - Australia‎. Then in Map Viewer you can format for the date field in the Fields pane and that will persist across both pop-ups and tables:
