Hi Anupam:

You need to use a language that uses this date format, for example, English (UK) and set that as the user's preferred Language in the user settings.

If the required language is not available for selection in the Language dropdown, you will need to activate developer mode,  go to Settings > Translations > Languages and activate the required language.

You can modify the date format in the language. I did that for english (UK) so it fits Norwegian way of reading / enter a date. Be aware that it can be overwritten when upgrade. Also decimal separator and thousand separator can be modified in the language.

Hi,

In "Developer mode" go to Settings > Translations > Languages > select the language you are using and edit it however you want, in your case, set the date to:  %d/%m/%Y

Thanks

Are you asking about changing the whole datetime fields?
else you can easily do it using python Datetime library's strftime

>>> import datetime

>>> do = datetime.datetime.strptime("Dec 17 2014 00:00:06", "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S")

>>> do.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
