INPT DATE FORMAT (System Preference)#
This preference specifies the date formats that can be used for keying dates in. This preference is mostly used IF you want to change the format Month entry first instead of the default of Day entry first.
This is currently the only preference that can have multiple values entered. Each value must have a priority to tell the system which match to try first.
While there is no default value the system has a series of it's own formats which start with dd.
Note that case is very important in the format and may cause invalid results or errors.
See the VALUE_FORMAT page in the Wiki for specifics on different format options.
This preference is set by site (IMST) or by role (IMRO).
