Base Date format

I have a number of DB’s where the date format on forms is set to “Standard(long)” having just updated to version 24.8.1.2 all the dates are now “Standard(short)” and I can’t seem to set them to anything else, well I can but it wont save, it just resets to “Short” Anyone else have this after updating?

It’s this bug: Bug 162713.
Note: Old created forms will be shown well, but if you change a form in LO 24.8 and save this form all date formats will be set to the default shot format.

Thanks for the reply, we wait for the Bug fix then!

You may replace the date control with a formatted control which can be formatted very much like a spreadsheet cell. However, it has no calendar drop-down.

Great fix \ workaround, thanks
