Export > Custom tabular exporter: date formatting doesn't work #3368

Description

@allanaaa

Using the custom tabular exporter to export dates into locale formats (short, medium, long, full) doesn't seem to have any effect in any of the available output formats.

custom

To Reproduce

Export some columns of identical dates into the five available locale formats.

Current Results

HTML tables, XLS, XLSX, CSV, and TSV all output the original data into each cell, no matter which locale format you've chosen. Omitting time does nothing. The "use local time zone" checkbox does nothing.

Expected Behavior

Presumably (like some of the other settings for the custom tabular exporter) this is intended to work in at least one of the available output formats, but maybe not all of them. Can anyone tell me which formats?

There seem to be other discussions (#3322 for example) around this right now so I just want to register this as something to test when those are worked on.
