useSystemDate not working for me??

[Davidv]

This has worked normally for me for decades, and a forum search found no-one else with the same problem, so I have raised it here rather than in Bug Triage. Suggestions welcomed:

This script:

on mouseUp
set the useSystemDate to true
put the long date into field "f1"
end mouseUp

Gives me "Wednesday, November 1, 2023" yet my system date is set to Australia (day before month), my Mac showing "Wed 1 Nov" in the menu bar and elsewhere showing local date format at all times.

Same with "put the system date" into the message box, gives me "11/1/23" not "1/11/23", as does "put the date" of course.

MacOS 14.0
Livecode 9.6.10

Pleased not to be odd one out on this occasion, thank you.

Holding my breath until next week; maybe.

This is a known issue with MacOS Sonoma (this does not affect older MacOS versions) - the the next LC version will address this.
So... patience

It's not much use on MacOS 12 either:

My system is currently running on the Persian Calendar [I mean, why not?] and LC makes a right pig's breakfast out of that:
