Description
Steps to reproduce
Unable to set Date/Time format independent of my locale. There is no option to set it, surely this must be a bug in a calendar app.
I can't imagine anyone developing a calendar software and not exposing the options to give the desired format. IF this was intentional, can any justifiable reason be given for such a glaringly obvious oversight?
Expected behavior
I should be able to set my Date format to whatever format I choose.
I should be able to set my Time format to AM/PM or 24 Hours as I desire.
Actual behavior
I can only change my locale which then changes my date/time format to undesired combinations.
