I try to find out, if or where I am able to set the display format of Start and End Dates in the iteration / sprint table.
I would like to change the default for the Project / Board into dd.mm.yyyy

    Try this:

    1. portal.azure.com
    2. click on Settings (gear close to your account name)
    3. pick "Language + region"

    The date and time format will be dependent on your locale settings--it will either be from your operating system level or browser. Such as you are using Chrome, you can change the default display language of Google Chrome.

    More detail about this issue, please refer to this ticket: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/428156/azure-devops-project-where-can-i-set-the-date-form.html

    This is a semi good solution.

    If you work, on three projects, with customers from three regions, you required three azure accounts so that you could always use the same regional preferences as your customer.

    Maybe the developers of the azure board did not think about that. Or the solution is hiding somewhere else.

    Anyway, thanks for coming up with a proposal.

    Happy New Year
