Force date format
To whom it may regard,
although my keyboard layout is US international, I am writing dates in the YYYYMMDD or in the DDMMYYYY format. Every time I manually enter a date in the metadata, it's interpreted as MMDDYYYY, although I want it to be interpreted as DDMMYYYY. Is there a way to get around this in the settings of the program?
Is there a way to manually convert all dates of my library elements to a specific format?

bwiernikIn Zotero settings, in the Advanced pane, set your Language to English (U.K.). Otherwise, I recommend entering all dates in yyyy-mm-dd format
