--- Comment #4 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Thanks for the video, that makes more sense.

So the request is:

"Let the user define a default subtype and format for the Insert Time or Insert
Date command, so it is inserted when using the corresponding shortcuts."

Note that, as far as I can tell, the format is tied to the paragraph language:
if I insert a date in an English (Australia) paragraph, it will be 31/12/23,
whereas it will be 12/31/23 in an English (USA) paragraph. But why not allowing
the user to override that with a setting somewhere (unsure where that would
live: in the Fields dialog or in Options > Language?).

Regarding the "subtype" (e.g. fixed vs not fixed), there is a discussion on how
they could be separated as distinct UNO commands, following the change of
default in 7.6: bug 157337. In my opinion, this ticket can't be resolved until
we have a resolution for bug 157337.

Copying the UX/Design team in for opinion.
