Demonstration of lack of standard.
SUMMARY
Allow choice of specific date and time format, like Windows 11
and KDE 4 and permitted, instead of predefined presets. This is because the
region in a lot of cases does not whatsoever indicate the choice date and time
format utilized. For instance, the UK (especially England) the government (and
consequently myself) use ISO 8601, which mandates YYYY-MM-DD and 24-hour time.
Although not most, much of society here uses AM/PM, and most certainly uses
DD/MM/YYYY.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Invoke kcmshell5 kcm_regionandlang (via systemsettings5).
2. Attempt to set the formats it governs individually, or to a
specific standard.
OBSERVED RESULT
I can only choose a single preset's predefined date *and* time.
I cannot choose different forms of date *and* time, and cannot use a specific
standard's, only instead hope that a certain region by default is defined to
use my exact preferences.
EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to choose YYYY-MM-DD as the date format,
HH:mm:ss as the time format. Additionally, I should be able to specify that I
always want the timezone to be displayed (I frequently use Z, other times
+00:00 and +01:00 due to BST, so this is necessary for me).
Ideally, I should also be able to specify that I want them
formatted as ISO 8601 using a T-delimiter for time, but this would be a
perfection, so I don't explicitly request it.
