Vault level Date format selector

Use case or problem

Installing multiple plug-ins that either require a specific date format or have none set by default. Its wild to me that given how important date format is to get really good value out of obsidian and its delightful collection of plugins that there isn’t a vault level setting for date format that all plugins could inherit from.

Proposed solution

A core feature that ideally helps new obsidian users choose a date format for their vault. This date would be recommended to plugin authors to use. Obsidian could flag plugins a user has on that uses a different format to help with visibility.
Bonus: A additional button would trigger a reformating of the users vault’s contents to update the old format to the new format in each file.

+1 need that. It was cool if I could choose date format on vault level and also could granularly control date format on flagged plugins if I want to

right now, i start Obsidian like
env LANG=en_GB.utf8 LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8 LANGUAGE=en_GB /opt/Obsidian/obsidian
to get at least dd/mm/yyyy.
I do prefer ISO yyyy-mm-dd though.

I support this request.

It was unexpected that having the options to choose date format, for Daily notes and Unique note creator core plugins, then I can not use that easily for plugins or in date/time properties. I have to use

to keep the picker functional.

If I had been aware of that information beforehand, lots of related issues could have been avoided. I think it isn’t on https://obsidian.md/help/ either, can’t find it.
