[rt-users] European date format

[Rehan van der Merwe]

Jesse, 

Has there been any development in this regard?

Is there a easy way in the meantime to NOT accept mm/dd/yyyy (to avoid confusion, since SA follows European time format), and thus only yyyy/mm/dd?

Regards,
Rehan

Not currently easy, as we use Date::Parse.  I'm looking
at switching to Time::ParseDate in a future release, which will make this
much easier.
