Here I am with yet another date format issue.

I have a date question in my survey.  I have asked for the appearance to be Day, month and year. I would like to have the submitting date as my default.

Sounds great ... BUT the default date is coming up in the American format rather than the common format for my region.  This will lead to confusion for whoever uses the survey thinking they are entering the wrong date and therefore the survey will not be used.

Within our organisation settings we have specified our region.  It would be great if it would pick up this and use an appropriate date format (or even a global standard).

Is there anyway I can fix this?

I'd also love to know the progress on this.  The bug referenced above says it's been implemented and fixed in 3.1.1, but I still get the dates displaying in US format.  Also looking at the information in the bug it seems like it's referring to a different issue.

It's really frustrating and risks people entering incorrect data.

Yes, same issue here. Public facing surveys still show up as m/d/yyyy.

Has this ever be sorted? In NZ same issue with public facing web surveys displaying date in m/d/yyyy. Region is set to NZ and date/time format to Australia.
