Feature request

Please describe your feature request

• I have created my request on the Product Board before I submitted this issue
• I have looked at all the other requests on the Product Board before I submitted this issue

Summary

Please, give an option to change the date format in the admin dashboard.
Right now it looks like:

We wan to change it to just: 2021/10/27

Why is it needed?

Better user read.

Suggested solution(s)

In the v3 we could change it with the:

# extensions/content-manager/admin/src/utils/dateFormats.js

import { dateFormats as defaultDateFormats } from 'strapi-helper-plugin';

const dateFormats = {
  ...defaultDateFormats,
  date: 'YYYY/MM/DD',
  datetime: 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm',
  timestamp: 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm',
};

export default dateFormats;

But it would be much better to have the option from the global settings of the admin dashboard.

Thanks @abdonrd, we will discuss it with the team in the coming weeks too :)

Would like this feature too!

Additionally it would be nice to add formating preferences for other fields too.
For example an option to keep the 2 decimals at the end of decimal number inputs which don't need it: 1 to 1.00.

+1 for me wanting this feature.
Display of all Datetime and Date info needs to be configurable.
So, not just display.
This also includes the Date picker when creating/editing content.

As an example, that 02/27/2022 date format is not suitable for Japan audiences, which require 2022/02/27 or 2022-02-27.

This feature would also be relevant for us.
