    For me the Locale setting does have an effect but maybe you do not want to use for example "French France" locale. I do not know how to override the format for a selected locale. Commented Nov 19, 2023 at 17:49

    format_date returns a string representation of a date, which means that you cannot enter it into a field of type "Date". That's why those are all NULL. Commented Nov 19, 2023 at 18:57

    What operating system are you using? If Windows, check the Short Date settings in your region/locale. Commented Nov 19, 2023 at 23:25

    Hi Babel, I can reproduce the error. Since 3.34, it shows the timeformat in the official locale (localeplanet.com/icu/gsw-CH/index.html). If you use the C default (C), it uses the system default, but the long format. Perhaps there is a possibility you can override the format? Commented Nov 20, 2023 at 9:35

    I meant the Attributes Form, rather than the Fields. I can change the Date format - see: i.sstatic.net/t1Xrz.png Commented Nov 20, 2023 at 22:35
