This date is horrible for me to read... the day/month is ambiguous and I've made a whole array of errors here thinking that this was UK formatted dates and not US. As said I'd prefer ISO date here to remove any ambiguity.

admin: {
  displayFormat: 'YYYY/MM/DD',
},

Produces console errors.

I've checked your docs, and I can't see a guide on how these can be formatted. I only see the default formatting.

and

pickerAppearance

is throwing type and console errors??

Hey
@357456032454410240
, you need to nest
displayFormat
in a
date
object:
```
admin: {
    date: {
        displayFormat: 'yyyy/MM/dd',
    }
}
```
There is an example here but it could definitely be clearer in the docs:
https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/date#example

Also you will get errors for YYYY and DD because they are not valid tokens so change that to
yyyy/MM/dd
, read more about that here

Thanks for this info

- is it possible to set this at a global level?

currently it is not possibly to set this at a global level but I can definitely see the benefit in that - we should open a feature request for this 👍
