Description Michael 2019-03-27 08:49:13 UTC
Description:
If I format a cell as date cell, lets say TT.MM.JJJJ and I use the function "insert field - date" the date format is MM/TT/JJJJ and I can not change it. If I have a look to format cell the format is still TT.MM.JJJJ but it is ignored.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.right click a cell and choose "Format Cells"
2.go to the "Numbers" tab and choose a date format what is not in your default language in my case the environment is LANG=en_US.UTF-8 so I choose TT.MM.JJJJ
3.click Ok to confirm your changes
4.double click this cell to select it (a cursor should blinking)
5.right click this cell and choose Insert Field -> Date

Actual Results:
the date format will be ignored, I guess you choose the format what the LANG environment says

Expected Results:
insert the date in the format I was choosing before


Reproducible: Always

I can confirm with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 82463bdde75447d45e0cd6ed9ab579e0e51ea912
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
not sure if it's bug. There are two items "date" in the menu in version 6.3- one insert formated date, but looks like standard input and not field; second insert date field as in 6.0.7

Repro also in Win. 
Did you notice Insert-Date, as raal wrote? That one behaves properly. 
Seems that Date filed has fixed date format, but I wouldn't call that a bug.
Although you may request an enhancement to also be able to change that, but please provide use case.
