It would be useful to allow the Start Date/End Date columns to have an actual date rather than "in 4 days, in 3 days" etc.

Original issue on Gitea

I think that would probably be a global setting for all dates, not just in the table view.

Are you saying it's not possible to localize such a decision to the view you are configuring?


@kolaente commented on 2021-05-26T20:29:00.000Z:

It would be but I'm sure if I change it only in the table view there will be people complaining about this. Since the functions used to "render" the date are the same throughout the whole frontend it would actually be easier to just change it in that central place.

This seems to be a frontend issue.

I think it would make sense to provide the possibility to toggle this.

Currently there is already a tooltip showing the actual date.
We should keep this. When adding the toggle functionality we simply switch what is shown in the tooltip with the text =)

The setting can be saved in localstorage. I think saving this as a usersetting is a bit overpowered.
