Additional comments

Thereā€™s a new setting called ā€œDate display formatā€, please put ā€œrelativeā€ in there as well. That should fix it, I think. Let me know if it doesnā€™t!

Nope. It was fixed when I first entered, but after refresh it returned to the default format.

I canā€™t repro, sorry. I tried both refreshing the page and opening another document. Does your setting look like this?

It is exactly like that. I also did a clear browsing data in case the previous configuration conflicts with the new one. And it was still fixed if I delete the date display format and re-entered, but after refresh, it returned to the default format.

I also have the following settings related to the date (update - I changed all those setting, but the format had no effect). Thanks for the help and have a great weekend.

Time format - 24-hour clock
First day of week - Monday
Show timezone - uncheck
Highlight overdue - check

Update_2 - I just discovered any items without time showing default format.
Example:
Tax !(2020-04-15 | 1y) - show Wed, April 15th 2020, every year
Tax !(2020-04-15 07:00 | 1y) - show in 7 months, every year

We just released a fix ā€“ could you refresh and see if the issue persists?

Yes, it works now. Thanks for the fix.
