In Lightroom, dates are showing in DD/MM/YYYY in places like the Loupe view overlay and the Metadata panel. Is there a way to change Lightroom to use a different date format?

The format of data/time usually is get from the setting of the operating system. So you can change the locales and time/date format in your operating system and test.
Do not forget some info is extracted from EXIF information and may or may not be converted to the OS format.

Lightroom generally uses your operating system’s regional or locale settings for how dates and times are displayed. If you want a different format, the usual approach is to change the date/time format in your OS settings and then check Lightroom again.

One limitation: some date information comes directly from EXIF metadata, and that may not always be reformatted to match your OS display preferences.
