For formatting the display of dates I’d rather give end users a popup of styles to choose from within my solution rather than ask them to navigate to Servoy/Preferences/Locale and key in a code. Is this possible?
A search of the forum turns up nothing under Date AND Preferences.
The default dateformat can only be changed in that dialog.

Then I’d like to turn this into a feature request.
I’d like to be able to provide users a screen within my solution where they can choose from a popup various display styles – daymonthyear, monthdayyear, yearmonthday, etc. and whether to display the month by name or by number. The popup would be by example. By making that choice, they have no other screens to navigate, no code to enter (and possibly type in incorrectly).
If possible, I’d like to enable the master user to set the initial standard for all users and then let individuals switch according to their personal preference.
How doable is this in a future version of Servoy?
And I would ask the ability to set the locale (including language) for a user as well; some of my users are a long ways away (try Siberia) and I want to make it a steamlined as possible to get them up and running
a locale change will always require a restart of servoy. Or else there is no guarrantee that everything is converted to that locale.
What I would really like is to be able to query/set locale settings (and other user pref items) so that I can set up the user when I define them. If I have to implement a “first run” initialization routine that requires a restart after the first time they logon, so be it, but it will be better for all parties than if I have to walk them through changing prefs.
Another example is the request from someone else for being able to set the email server programatically; I would love to do the same.
In general, the more properties like this we can get/set the better
