Description

Describe the bug

When loading the project workflows page, for a split second the unformatted date time for the work orders is displayed before the formatted date appears.

Version number

v2.14.0

I have reproduced this locally on main:

  • Yes
  • No

To Reproduce

  1. Go to Workflows

Expected behavior

The page shouldn't jump/flash at all. The timestamps should only appear once the JS is loaded and local times/relatives are calculated

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start at the Workflows page and inspect how work-order timestamps are rendered before and after JavaScript loads. Reproduce the initial flash locally, then verify that only the formatted local or relative timestamps appear and the page no longer jumps during loading.
