I cannot reproduce with format code YYYY-MM-DD. Can you attach test file? Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d993327eab0a2c9c8820c6528075b01de68b0ec6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Here is my observation of the same issue that has been around at least for a year now (perhaps longer): Calc: Date format cannot be properly configured in some cases Steps to Reproduce: 1- Create a new Calc sheet 2- Type the following in any cell and press enter: 2023-03-02 3- Right-click on the newly-created cell and select "Format Cells..." 4- In the "Format" list, pick "December 31, 1999" and click on OK (note that the "Category" stays as "Date") 5- Click on the cell that has just changed to a MMMM D, YYYY format 6- Click where the formula in the cell can be edited to manually change the day from 02 to any other day, let’s say 28 and press enter Actual Results: 7- The cell format changes from MMMM D, YYYY to M/D/YYYY format 8- You cannot set it back any more by repeating the steps 3 and 4 Expected Results: 1- No change of format should have happened in step #7 2- It must be possible to format the cell back to MMMM D, YYYY by repeating steps 3 and 4, which is now impossible Note: At this point, the only way to get a format like MMMM D, YYYY would be manually typing mar 28, 2023 in the formula input section and pressing enter. No amount of "Format Cells..." manipulation will fix the issue.
I can replicate the steps from comment 2 and get the same results / behavior / observations. Having said that, I would assume that this has to be somehow related or dependent on menu Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > Date acceptance patterns. The real question would be then whether a user changed this setting, or alternatively, whether it was always the same whereas the behavior changed without user's knowledge. Question for everyone: is the behavior as described in comment 2 acceptable / normal / expected?
