Dates to use browser or standard format

[ivnnv]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Both a feature request and a problem, deploy dates are shown in american format, which is extremely confusing for non-american people as something like

will read as "eleven of march of 2024", when its actually "three of november of 2024"

Describe the solution you'd like
This and other dates to localize using the browser configuration or just use non-opinionated standard YYYY/MM/DD

UPDATE: In case you were wondering, my locale is correctly set, and it correctly transforms dates coming as YYYY/MM/DD:

I had a quick look at the frontend and maybe moment is not doing its job well here:

Hi @githubsaturn, thanks for the prompt response, Ive updated the main comment with extra context:

Im in the latest version:

Current Version: 1.13.1

Latest Stable Version: 1.13.1

Your CapRover is the latest version.

Yes, this was supposed to fix that :/

To provide more context, we don't want to use the browser built-in version as it's just too long. That's why we're using moment.

This is interesting, my system (macOS) and browser language are set to english as primary, but my OS date format is indeed set as DD/MM/YYYY (Im spanish so thats more natural for me), and that is what it seems the browser internally uses on the Date.toLocaleString() internal implementation, while moment shortcuts only rely on the language

Is it really that long toLocaleString()? it seems it only adds the seconds (03/11/2024, 23:25:07), which could be removed.

Yea, perhaps something like this could work:

const date = new Date();
const options = {
  year: 'numeric',
  month: 'numeric',
  day: 'numeric',
  hour: '2-digit',
  minute: '2-digit'
};

const formattedDate = date.toLocaleString('default', options);
console.log(formattedDate);
