End date confusion
Inconsistent formatting of dates in different places in Alma leads to confusion. Dates in coverage statements are fomatted mm/dd/yyyy but dates in other places, such as 'Creation date' or 'Modification date' are sometimes formatted dd/mm/yyyy. Ex Libris should start using a standard and consistent date format, namely, the ISO 8601 Date and time format, YYYY-MM-DD, see https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html

In the German User environment of Metadata editor the formatted date type is already YYYYMMDD. Only deviation from YY (in data field 008) to YYYY occurs in various fields.

I would encourage case submission for this defect when observed, as Alma is expected to abide by your configured system date format. I have reported one for the Expiration Date for Interested User account information in the New UX PO Line Task List being MM/DD/YYYY when our configuration is DD/MM/YYYY, and the case is with Development.
