Repeating Transactions - Customise placeholder format

It would be great if the placeholder format can be customised:

i. with all capital letters

ii. date format "01/01/2023"

iii. with "JAN" instead of "January"

iv. with "23" for 2023

    It would be very very useful for reporting to be able to choose the format of the placeholders.

    We would prefer the placeholder for Month and Year to be in the format MmmYY eg Nov24

    But any reduction to the full month placeholder being reduced to 3 characters eg. Nov or NOV would be a big improvement

    It is critical for us to be able to change the date format as this will allow clients to us Xero for other languages!

    It would be great to be able to use custom placeholders. I like to have Q1-Q4 in repeat invoices for the ones we invoice/ bills we receive Quarterly! doing 3 months is such an long description.

    Yes, this is important as we work with marcos to be able to identify the date format in MMM YYYY when we download a transaction report from XERO. It will be good if this is customizable.
