Hi there,

I have the gut feeling, that his might be a very obvious answer. But for some reason I couldn’t find a solution.
In YAML frontmatter the date is in ISO-Format such as YYYY-MM-DD
But in Live-Preview Mode or Reading view the date is shown as DD/MM/YYYY

Obsidian YAML frontmatter

It is annoying me a bit and I wanted to change the appearance. Does anybody have an idea how to do it, or if it is at all possible?

Hey, Bear.

It follows the format specified by the OS. The screenshot below shows the system settings on a Mac and how the date format corresponds in Properties in Obsidian.

Thanks @Guapa.
I knew it was something easy :sweat_smile:

Gotta change my OS locale obviously.
