Bug ID: 169958
Summary: Feature Request: Let date format and decimal delimiter
be set independently of locale
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc

Description:
I have a request; to let users set decimal delimiters and date format
separately from whatever language locale is decided. Currently, there is no way
to get ISO date format and . as delimiter
This because in many data processing cases it is crucial to stick to the
standard of using "." as decimal delimiter, but currently this isn't possible
to have as standard together with the ISO date format YYYY-MM-DD except for
when setting the language locale to Chinese which got its own problems.
The most flexible solution in my opinion would be to let users set their own
decimal delimiters, like excel allows its users to do it.
It is much more practical to easily allow this more granular customization.
Also, to work well with the hotkeys for insert date etc. It would be handy to
implement custom date format for not only calc but the whole Libre Office
package.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try get the YYYY-MM-DD date format without it changing the delimiter to ,
Actual Results:
The options seem mutually exclusive at the moment.
Expected Results:
Was looking for some custom decimal delimiter option like available in excel,
but wasn't available.
Reproducible: Always
