Hi All,
The rule where you can make task titles and use variables.
If you use the date to rename your task, is there anyway to stop it being US format??
The due date is set in UK format but with the naming it brings it in as US!
Can anyone help or advise if this is by design or bug, as a client of mine cannot use it if it is the case and I think that if you are set to UK then surely the rule should rename as UK
Ah, I recall discussing this with @Marie , @Emily_Roman and @Arthur_BEGOU , but I can’t find where. 
@Danielle-GenD , it’s not a bug but expected behaviour. I agree, not ideal for us non-US based customers…
To overcome this, I use Flowsana - it allows numerous types of date formatting using its variable substitution:
M for mm/dd/yyyy
D for dd/mm/yyyy
Y for yyyy/mm/dd
S for yy (a short format which provides the last 2 digits of the year)

Hey @Richard_Sather thanks for getting back to me. Why is @Phil_Seeman always the answer ! 
Probably because he has built an awesome integration! 
HI @Danielle-GenD and @Richard_Sather,
Unfortunately I don’t think variable dates can adapt to different format. By default it will always display tasks in the US format.
Would love to be able to change the way a date is displayed in a task from a rule to the UK (date then month) as currently always comes out the US way ( month then day).
Would actually love to be able to change the date format like you can in excel so you can just have the date & month and not the year for this rule function as less ‘busy’ in the task title then
Thanks!
I see what you mean. Tested for a task due today.
Dates are always tricky with programming. I believe how you see date fields is generally governed by your OS and/or browser localisation settings. This can’t work with rules, as the rules are also running when you don’t have Asana open.
An option to choose the date formatting in the rule settings would make sense and solve this.
With converting dates to text I’m always hoping for an option to do yyyy-mm-dd, as with this an alphabetical sort would also be a chronilogical.
Voted!

Thank you @Jan-Rienk - for trying it, voting and also reminding me to vote!!! Have done 
Hi @Mel2 , I’ve merged your post into this existing one. All votes have been consolidated 
Thank you @Richard_Sather - I did search for it but obviously not very well!
Appreciated 
Well, to be fair (and honest) I actually amended the title of this thread to make it better searchable.
Well I feel better at least - thank you for finding it
