Thought that this had already been reported ages ago, but a quick trawl of bugzilla didn't bring it up.

Confirming.

Tested on

Version: 7.1.6.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 0e133318fcee89abacd6a7d077e292f1145735c3
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 10.16; UI render: default; VCL: osx

against a mysql database containing a query that by default displays the date as DD/MM/YY.

Try to format the date column in the query grid to DD/MM/YYYY, validate the format dialog, and the date is displayed as desired.

Now close the query grid view. The user isn't asked whether they want to save the formatting change, nor does any indication in the main DB window show that a change has occurred.

Now re-execute the query, the default date display is back again.

Pretty certain that this has always been like this since OOo3.0.

This probably has something to do with the XML attributes that should be saved to the ODB file. 

Perhaps these attributes don't even exist (I haven't checked), and therefore it is more the case of a missing implementation.

See also bug 60539.

Note: Query will be preformatted by the formatting of the table. but this would never work with the special query of this report, which doesn't show any field of a table.

Seems to be a duplicate of bug 86315. I will set this one to DUPLICATE. Feel free to reopen if you see differences there.
