Reusable Date Formats
When displaying a date in the UI, you can choose the format to use. The dropdown provides around 10 or so OOTB formats. It also allows a "Custom" option, where you can then provide the format you want to use, like "MM-DD-YYYY".
It would be great if we could add to the drop down your own formats. Our client always wants to use the above custom format. So it would be great if we created that as a dropdown option for easy selection; and if there was a way to update that format in case they ever want to change the default format, which would then update all UIs that reference it; like any reusable rule.
