qlik default date format

rx98u5pq — Tue, 27 May 2025 14:49:40 GMT

Hi, is there a simple way to change the default date settings for all new apps in qlik cloud to be DD/MM/YYYY.

I don't want to update it for each new app or have to have it in a qvs file.

Look at the MAIN tab on your load script. There you can set the default format to whatever you need.

SET DateFormat='M/D/YYYY';

Yes, but that isn't automatic. I don't want to change it each time i create a new app.

The change is just for that app. Not all new apps going forward.

But my message says I do want it to change going forward (for all apps automatically) , i do not want to have to update the section each time for a new application

Yes - and my question was asking for a way to change the deafult so that all appsgoing forward would have dd/mm/yyyy rather than changing the MAIN section each time

You can set the default regional settings for new apps in your user profile settings:
