In the schematic page properties, when setting the Issue date the current date format is dd/mm/yyyy but when you click to transfer it over, it changes to yyyy/mm/dd as shown below.
Is there anyway to keep the format the same?
I can’t even enter the date on my schematic anywhere. Is there a special trick to doing that, or does it happen automatically when you print the schematic ? Maybe you’re using a newer version than my kicad 5.1.9+dfsg1-1~bpo10+1, release build.
I figured out to make a .plt file, but I have no idea what it is for.
Under page settings you can enter it or transfer it from the current date as shown in the screenshot above.

Oh, you mean from File…Page Settings. Okay, got it.
For me the dates in the dialog (In V5.1.9) look like:
The right date is probably some OS dependent string, and when copied to the left with <<< It’s turned into ISO_8601 format.
I’ve also checked this with a recent nightly, and it has both dates in ISO8601 format. I assume this is how it is supposed to be.

I know I can type the date in how I want manually but seems strange that the button changes the displayed format. It would be nice if there was a dropdown or something that allowed you to choose the date format of preference.
