Repeating journals - Date placeholder that uses a number-format for month
I attended the 2023 Q2 QPU and I like that for placeholders you can add a number in the square brackets to modify the month placeholder (this was in repeating journals - is it the same in other repeating features, like Invoices/Bills?). I also wonder if you can modify the year placeholder in the same way.
But I'd like also to be able to post repeating journals with a placeholder that uses a number-format for month (eg, 04 instead of April). Alternatively or additionally, it would be nice to be able to abbreviate the month to just the first 3 characters (eg, Apr instead of April).

I think it would be a great idea if the placeholders used in a repeating bill would show not only alphabetical information (eg. [Month] would show April) but also numerical information (eg. 20.[Month].2024 would show 20.04.2024). I am sure that most of us don't type out the names of the months, but use their numerical format, but aesthetically I don't like when half of the transactions are alphanumerical and half of them are numerical.
