Changing the site's regional settings appear to have no effect on the Modified column in our site's document lists.
Is there anywhere else we can change these settings?- Jan 10, 2023Can you show the regional settings and column settings?
- CadiPNZJan 15, 2023Copper ContributorI have the same problem, but I am trying to create a new column called "EventDate" and both the site and the hub site regional settings are all set to NZ, I can display the date correctly by using "Friendly" display format or JSON.
