Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to edit the list box for entry formats found when creating/editing a date field.
From the main top area it's:
More settings and values >
Date entry >
Date entry options
[Listbox here]

I've tried adding them to my list of formats in the the date settings, but it is not showing up in this list.
Am I missing an option somewhere?

Reason I ask is I need to input a ton of items each with dates in a format of "January 5 2006" for example.
Being able to just paste that in instead of paste then edit each one, would be extremely helpful and time saving since I've got the rest of the data I have to worry about also.

Thanks for your help!

This is something I need as well, to be able to enter a proper Dutch date/time (4-12-2013 20.15).

If you select the Popup calendar input widget, then the custom format option is hidden (to avoid validation errors). Try selecting a different widget first, then specify your custom format, and then change the widget back to Popup calendar. The custom format should be preserved.

It is a bit backwards that an non-ISO format is available by default (28/12/2014) but a perfectly valid date (28-12-2014) not.
