Help in modifying how date is displayed in search results

To list,

I need to modify the way dates are displayed in search results. I need

to have it just be simply in the “YYYY/MM/DD” format. Right now I am in
3.6.4. However, if this is a simple config change for 3.8 then that will
do, as we are going to upgrade soon. But if not, then I need some help
in modify the display format. Thanks.

You can have YYYY-MM-DD (ISO) be the default in 3.8 with a config option

Kevin,

That's EXCELLENT NEWS!! Man, I was dreading having to find where that

code is and change it. I’m glad RT has gotten to the “cafeteria” style
of options on this stuff. I assume that my format choice in the config
deals with ALL date fields or can I select which ones? Thanks.

The code is actually centralized in ColumnMap (and has been for a
while).
It won’t affect “Relative Due” but should affect normal dates like Due
