I want to change the date format in Jira Asset

[Camila Atenas]

Hi, I am creating an inventory in Jira Assets, and any date fields as "Assigned on" or "Purchase date" appear in the date format MMM/dd/yy, e.g. Jul 17, 2024. I would like them to appear in ISO 8601 format yyyy/MM/dd, e.g. 2024/07/17. It doesn't matter if it appears as 2024/Jul/17. I have not been able to change it from Cog icon > System > General configuration > Advanced settings, where you can change the format of the date picker, nor from Cog icon > System > Look and feel. 

Is there any other way to change this date format?

This came up about a year ago.  This thread may shine some light, but it may not be helpful in the end.

I do not see a way to have these date fields behave as all other date fields, yet.

Thanks for the info, I changed the date format everywhere but it doen't change in jira asset, so apparently there is no way to do it :/

yet, no way to do it yet. :)  I'm sure they will get around to it, Assets came in via an acquisition, it's code base is different than the rest of Jira, eventually, it will get Atlassianize.
