Custom Plot Date Format

[nwfonseca]

Hey gang, is there a way to create a custom-"auto custom plot date" for title blocks? We use Month, Date, Year like this: January 06, 2021. However, from the list of auto custom the closest thing is Day, Month Date, Year. Rather than redesigning the title block I was hoping there was a way to append the list with another date type? I know you can do a manual entry but that is pretty time consuming. I was wondering if there was a way to add to the list that you can choose from for dates in the title block border settings. Is that possible? If not, maybe the programmers could add it some day 😉

Hello @nwfonseca,

 

Currently the list of available dates cannot be dynamically changed. Anyway, you can get any date format you like if you use the Short/Medium/Long options and change your OS locale to have this date format, as these title block date formats are using your system settings.

I would also like to be able to make custom "Auto - Custom Plot Dates" as we use YYYY_MM_DD for dates.
