Locale settings for calendar widget

Grist Feedback
1

Using the calendar widget is annoying if you want use your locale settings. Here in europe our days have 24 hours, not 12 on the first and 12 on the second half of the day, so we would prefer to use a 24h time format even in calendars - and our weeks start on monday not on the weekend. Setting the locales in Grist does not change anything in the calendar widget. Why?
Another missed feature is a way to scale the calendar. In a event calendar with events with a duration of 10 or 20 minutes it is not possible to read the event title. It would be useful if we coul limit the time of the daily calendar from 9 to 5 for example and, second, to scale into the hours for more detailed views.

Any news about this? I can’t find an issue on Github about this.

Thanks!

Hey @Marc_SCHNEIDER ,

Thanks for checking in on this! We’re a small team and are currently focused on other priorities, but we know this is an area that could be improved and it’s something we’d love to revisit in the future. We prioritize updates based on user feedback, so as more people ask for this, it definitely helps move it up the list. I’ll add you as a +1 vote👍

Users can submit product improvement ideas through Github but also through our Community Forum, Discord, or by emailing support. I keep a record of all of them!

For those finding this thread, if you would also be interested in this update, add a comment and I’ll log your vote as well! :grin:

Yet another european here!
Having the Calendar-widget as well as the Date/DateTime selection popups either respect the Document Locale OR be able to set a custom format (both per document and as a default for new documents) would be a great feature to have.

Consider this my +1.

In fact, having the datepicker start on Sun instead of Mon causes errors in my company.

We are a travel agency. One of our trips start on Tuesday… then agents just “visually select the second column” like this:

In ALL our other tools the “second column” is the day the trip departs. Then they inform 18-aug in grist when they should have informed 19-aug.

This causes great data-loss and potentially money-loss.

We should be able to set the datepicker to “What day does it start”.

I don’t need to deal with complex locales and so… it can be just a config param: “What day does the week start on” and pass that param to the “widget”. If not configured, use the default.

Can this be easily implemented?

I’d be happy to contribute if anyone tells me how.
