Create formal letter which always requires date, and then change default date format to correct format for a letter date (absolutely stupid defaulting dd/mm/yy for letter app, what kind of default format is that for letter, it’s like you know nothing about document writing best practices, 15 minutes later and no tool method to change to a correct date format, what a waste of time. I just love chiding this project as I don’t know where the people have come from that think like this, it’s almost like they live in caves or are 16. After all these years I come back to this project and it’s still a disaster. And you force a category on post and categories are corrupted junk.

Changed category from Arabic to English.
Sorry that my screenshot is with Spanish date formats. But you can insert date fields, and also can create your own letter template with your favourite date format (I’m not sure if correct suits here).
I’ve seen they’ve only taken 2 minutes to look for answers so far.
There’s a whole lot there if you like to read:

Hey, are you using Libre office writer for your documents? I’m currently using it for work and if you wish to change the way the dates are displayed, I believe you might be able to change it on Options→General
- Writer does not use just to write cards and use the perfect date format can be rather complicated.
We all have defects. If you do not like this project you are free to go to another project.
