How do I bulk change the default number/date format in Portal

Question

Hi there,

When a new user is created there is no way to set the number/date format. it is always US-US!!  >:(

I do not want this for my users as we do not live in the US.

Is there a way using the python API to bulk update this value for all the users in my org? Should it not be a setting in the organisation that is applied to all new users by default?

I understand people can do it in their profile, but I do not want to have to ask all the members to do this.

Regards,

Marc

I think as a community we need to have something like this idea

ESRI default date JSON display format across entire suite of platforms

Pointless setting only applies to the website and no data fields or interactions are affected. This is the behaviour we would like to see accross every instance of a date in the entire portal and data not just when the map was lasted updated.

Hi Mark, you can set this when creating your new users. When you reach the 'set member properties' screen, select the settings tab and each of these settings are configurable:

The settings apply to dates across your portal website.
