Date issue with date item option field displaying on pdf/print of invoice
We have item option fields that are dates.
When printed on the pdf using list item.options the date format is not changed by <#setting date_format = "dd MMM yyyy">
To make things worse if I try to use ?date("dd/mm/yyyy") to correct the issue (after splitting the string in the correct format) I always lose the information on the month.
eg
Unformatted (EU format DD/MM/YYYY in company settings) - 22/5/2018
option?date("dd/mm/yyyy") - 22 January 2018
I have tried various permutations of dd and d, m and mm etc but always if the day works the month information is lost.
