Date Format

[Jeremy X]

I have defined a date field.

The date is displayed as "25. Januar 2018".

How can i achieve to get it displayed as "25.01.18" (short date format)?

As far as i know i need java script for that.

But i do not know how to handle it.

When in the library edit screen, date fields have, among the advanced parameters, Date formats. Select the one you like the best.

With JavaScript, you can display anything you like. If you don't like the choices under Date formats, you could keep that field and define another field as a JavaScript field referencing the date field. In that other field, press Add JavaScript libraries; only one will likely be listed: moment.min.js. Select it. Then, read the documentation page at momentjs.com (Home, Docs, Guides) to see how it works and how to display what you want.

My Memento is using always and everywhere whatever I set as "long format". Whatever I set in "short format" is never used. 

This is true for both date and time. 

Where should I see "short"? 

I would like to use short in lists and long in forms. How?

We probably should find out what system they are using. Windows, Android, or iOS. It may differ between those systems.
