Hi everyone,  
Not ever so important but I've just noticed the date format of the debug message mm/dd/yyyy (3/12/2021).  
Can this be changed? I would like dd/mm/yyyy, can't find any settings to change.

Asking for a friend.... 😬

Cheers.  
Paul.

I think that is down to the browser and/or system settings not node red.

Indeed. You will probably find that your browser has US language above GB in the settings.

Hi @Colin & @TotallyInformation,

Thanks you were both correct.  
Language was set to "English", Set it to "English (United Kingdom)" and all OK
