Assistant does not respect Regional Settings for Date Picker

WatsonX Assistant does not respect the regional settings when a Date response / Date picker is set for an Action step. It displays mm/dd/yyyy as the pattern despite Locale being set to 'en-NZ'. This should be fixed as it causes frustration / confusion with users. Note that the system still seems to accept dd/mm/yyyy as a valid input.

Actually a bug but IBM Support say this must be submitted as an Idea !

    Disappointing as - again - this is a UI issue in Assistant which affects the users in production.

    As Assistant is not yet deprecated, this defect should receive attention.

    Closing as path forward is agents where LL can be trained to display data in certain format based on certain conditions as shown below. Please register ideas against those as needed, thanks!

    No. This is about the mask / example displayed to the user for a Date Picker response. It always displays as "mm/dd/yyyy" regardless of the regional settings. I dont seem to be able to upload an image so let me know if you would like one sent in. If it helps, the original IBM Support Center reference is CS3986604 - which has screenshots / examples within it.

    I think we need to see more information on this. I can change the default locale, and then I can change the specific format for an entity like date.


    Is this about the default top level setting or the bottom, is that the confusion?
