Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in with a non-English language (I'll use German as example).
  2. Go to Activities work center, Tasks view. 
  3. Click to create a new task. 
  4. Erase any date field on Task Quick Create and see that the date format is dd.mm.yyyy and not TT.MM.JJJJ, which is maintained under user's settings.

Cause

The expected format is presented via technical term (Date format string), which is not a translatable text. This is accordingly with Unicode Common Locale Data Repository.

Resolution

This is the standard behavior of the system.
 
If you need this functionality urgently you may contact your implementation manager to help with such request or approach directly the SAP Cloud Service Center.
