Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

NetBox version

v3.4.2

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

1.) Create a custom field with a date type for Circuit model
2.) Add a circuit that has both an install date, and a date set in your new custom field
3.) View circuit and see that Install Date shows "MM/DD/YYYY", where as the custom field displays "Mon. DD, YYYY".

Expected Behavior

The dates should be consistently displayed throughout the UI - personal preference of DD/MM/YYYY format.

Observed Behavior

Install Date shows "MM/DD/YYYY", where as the custom field displays "Mon. DD, YYYY".

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jan 13, 2023):

Install Date shows "MM/DD/YYYY"

The install and termination dates will be formatted according to the SHORT_DATE_FORMAT configuration parameter, which defaults to the YYYY-MM-DD format. The custom field is not currently subject to any particular formatting, and is defaulting to the native string representation for a Python date object.
