Hi @taboo180 - Thank you for contacting me. This has been a known issue over years and already multiple users has reported about similar issues with calendar in #55 and #146. However there are some limitations with the calendar control I'm using and I do not see any straight forward option to support this date format.

I will have this ticket open and see if there are any updates in the calendar component supporting this configuration.

Latest updates

27-Nov-2023 - Change in permissions for JA

In upcoming version (v2.58) of JA, by default, permission to access Cloud instance of Jira would be added. This would let the users to integrate with Cloud instance of Jira without prompting for permission at the time of integration. Hence for Chrome users, once the extension gets updated, it would get disabled due to change in permission. You can enable it again from Extensions page. However, for Firefox and Edge, extension already have access to all the sites (though it doesn't really need) which would be narrowed down only to atlassian.net which would be a security improvement.
