  I think it's

  displayFormat

  :

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/date#:~:text=displayFormat%20determines%20how%20the%20date%20is%20presented%20in%20the%20field%20cell%2C%20you%20can%20pass%20any%20valid%20(unicode%20date%20format)%5Bhttps%3A//date%2Dfns.org/v2.29.3/docs/format%5D

  .

  displayFormat worked, but is there a way to configure this globally? I only got it working on field level.

  
  
  

  like this:

  
  

  {
    name: 'birthDate',
    type: 'date',
    admin:{
      date: {displayFormat: "dd.MM.yyyy"}
    }
  },

  
  

  
  

  This sounds like the thing i should use but somehow it does not affect the display format in the admin panel.

  I use this dateFormat: "do MMMM yyyy, h:mm a". But it only works for collection lists. Even though the docs state. dateFormat: Global date format that will be used for all dates in the Admin panel. Any valid date-fnsformat pattern can be used.

  I gave up for multi language support 🙂

  Just to add, it is on our radar to set

  dateFormat

  on a global level in the future (in addition to on a field-by-field basis) 👁️
