After updating to today's latest dev, I saw that there was this error in my site's status report page:

Date API Missing system date settings
The Date API requires that you set up the system date formats to function correctly. The timezone has been set to Europe/Athens. The first day of the week has been set to Monday.

The "system date formats" part is a link that points to ../admin/config/regional/date-time. I believe it should point to ../admin/config/regional/date-time/formats instead. I could be wrong though.

Was this an intentional change with the latest dev? I'm asking because it wasn't required previously. How do I correct it? I tried adding a custom format and that didn't make it go away.

It points to the right place. You have to select the formats you want for long, medium and short and save them or we have problems later when those values don't exist.

ok, I just re-saved these settings and the error went away. It simply worked so far. I edited and saved these settings almost since day one when the site went live. I just don't know why it got reset(?) and this error came up in my status report. It was working fine till yesterday.
