I realise I’m about to out myself as a Brit here, but I find that the American date format (mm/dd) is really annoying. I think it would be good to have the option to change this to the format used by the rest of the world, especially as I then have to mentally convert it before using the documents in my writing.

No shade for being British here!
Just to clarify, are you referring to the date input field, which advises the user to use the format YYYY-MM-DD? In this case, we’re following the international standard (ISO 8601) in order to render user metadata interoperable with the Dublin Core vocabulary. But what we could do is, once the user has entered the data in this format, parse it so that it appears in a more human-friendly way, e.g. from 2025-03-21 to 21 March 2025. Would that solve the problem?
I think that would be preferable yes! Perhaps not everyone agrees, but at least having that option would be good.
