Date view format in library

For all the years I've been using Zotero the date column has shown the just year, not the full date. Now from today it shows the full date, and in no particular format - the format for each reference depends on how that reference was imported. I've got used to eyeballing the dates when I'm looking through my library, and can't do that any more.

I've looked in Edit - Settings - General, but can't think of other ways to change preferences.

This is probably very simple, but I'd be grateful for pointers on how to amend this.
  • I also have this question.

    It seems that a recent Zotero update wiped out all my settings, including this one.

    Following a tip in these forums, I had set language to UK English so only the year was shown. Now this doesn't work, and the date format is displayed irregularly. I would like to go back to seeing the 4-digit year only.
  • Isn't the column "Year" what you are looking for? (right click on column headers).
  • Thanks so much - I hadn't noticed - as simple as that!
