On the Mac, in Fields: > General Information > Date and Time:

Why does Publisher not use the (MacOS) date/time format that has already been set via Language & Region (System Preferences).

Is this a problem? (It's certainly an inconvenience for me.)

@cubesquareredux There's an options menu button to the right which you can click to get various formats - see the arrow below.

I normally use the dark mode, but this options button is slightly less clear there (if you don't know to look for it) than in the light mode that I used for these screenshots…

Thank you, @GaryLearnTech.

I had seen those pre-sets and, yes, I suppose that having them is better than having no pre-sets at all.

What I would prefer as a default is for the program to honor the Mac user's global date/time format preferences, in the same way that other well-behaved Mac applications do.

Under Serif Publisher 9, it was possible to add personal fields specific to a publication.
Unfortunately this feature is missing under Affinity Publisher.
