If anyone else is interested, Abstract have recently release a helpful API that will help hack around this: Free Time, Date, and Timezone API - Get & convert time

Would love to be able to create our own date type using text codes liek dd mm or dd etc
Some we can make - Monday 12th or Mon 12th or 12th @ 1:00pm etc

Adding my vote here too - for event apps or apps that allow users to select times, not being able to control time zone, storing time as UTC or not allowing access to stored time’s timezone is screwing up display dates, reminders and scheduled/time-based notifications. This is even worse when using APIs to get time fields from Adalo.
There’s no way to know what time zone the user was in when the time was entered. So if I need to display or use the time in different time zones and I don’t know which time zone was used to create the date, I’m screwed.

Allowing a user to select 5 minute and upward intervals would be helpful

    OR custom functionality ie. dd-mmm-yyyy; ddd-mm-yy

most European countries use the following format: dd.mm.yyyy

Namely 31 countries in Europe and all over the world, according to this list on Wikipedia (List of date formats by country - Wikipedia)

dd-mm-yyyy is used by India and 7 other countries.

This is a must-have!
