QSL Label date format incorrect

Hi, I tried any workaround before writing to you but nothing worked.
When I print the QSL labels I always get the American date format (year/month/day), despite my Windows 11 64 bit date setting is in Italian (day/month/year).
Is this a bug, or is there a way to change the date format to our standard one?
Thank you
Massimo

Massimo,
I have the same experience as you have noted.
Couple corrections in that the typical USA format is: month / day / year
The format showing up: year / month / day is typically used in Europe and many parts of Asia
All based on common regional usage. The Windows O/S gives us the options to select what we may use in our region.
All that being almost all time/date issues in Log4OM V2 are based on the O/S.
Now ... why it doesn't also translate to the printed labels I can't answer.
Terry and Lele will have to provide that granular detail.

Hi Nolan,
my Windows time setting are in Italian, but the label still has the YYYY/MM/DD format.
This is not a very common format for QSL's and I'm struggling to understand if/how it can be changed
Let's see if I get a solution...

I got no answer from the Log4OM team yet ... does it mean there is no solution to this problem?
Any forecast for the future versions? Thanks

Date format is correct and is hard coded, the reason was the QSL must be "readable" in every continent, even printed, and this is the safest and universal way to represent a date without doubts about day and month

Ok Terry,
I understand your point although I still believe that dd/mm/yyyy is more popular
Thanks anyway
