Ability to enter dates directly in formats other than dd mmm yyyy
Across Xero it would be very useful (and intuitive) to be able to type dates in formats other than dd mmm yyyy (for example dd/mm/yyyy, ddmmyyyy, etc). The dd mmm yyyy isn't the usual way to enter and clients have commented that it's irritating that they can't type the date in (they use the calendar instead) because it didn't occur to them to try this format, and even when you are aware the habit when typing dates into these boxes is to use one of the more common formats so it can lead to errors

Hi Jonathan, is there a specific feature within Xero that your clients have commented about this in? In many places throughout Xero they should find entry of a date using dd/mm/yyyy or dd-mm-yyyy is accepted. We also have shortcuts mentioned in Xero Central that you could share with your clients to help them understand other keyboard actions that can help with their data entry.
