Description Kü 2015-04-14 05:27:28 UTC 
When inserting a date/time field in Writer, e.g.

Insert > Fields > More Fields > Document > Type:Date/Time

a list with date/time formats is shown using 31 Dec 1999 / 13:37:46 as examples. This examples are unsuitable because you can't differ the date/time formats, e.g.

DD/MM/YYYY from D/M/YYYY or D/MM/YYYY,

and

HH:MM:SS from H:M:S or H:MM:SS.

An other date/time, e.g. 7 Apr 1999 / 07:05:01 would be more suitable.

Hi Kü,

if I'm not wrong at the end of the formats there is an option for Additional format, where it's possible to do what you like.
D MMM AA "/" HH:MM:SS

That's correct. There you can define your desired format.

But my intention is, that you can't see in the preview, which format is behind the shown item.

Then better change the importance from normal to an enhancement, and adapt the title accordingly.
