Description of issue / Feature request

The option to change the date formatting in overlay is broken. I wanted to use the ISO 8601 date format using Unicode, but the overlay ignores the custom formatting in preview.

In preview, the date shows up as "March 21, 2023".

@alvintuo I'll have to check but I know it's weird, because in many cases, the API is using the locale to automagically make things look as they are in your region settings. I'll see if there's a way to override that but I remember that it worked very weirdly. Try y-MMMM and you'll see it "kinda" works, but the locale overrides a lot.

Ok I finally figured it out :

I'll post a beta later today or tomorrow !
