Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I found that the dates values took a lot of space in columns, what makes the tables quite wide. Would that be possible either to make them shorted eg dd.mm.YYY, hh:mm or better adjustable in UI?

Describe the solution you'd like

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatives: add date format in settings either per each table or at the level of the Tables app.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by examining the table UI where date values are rendered and clarify whether the goal is a fixed shorter format or configurable per-table or app settings. Done means the chosen date display reduces column width and the agreed configuration behavior works consistently.
