Typing day name no longer works to define date

OmniFocus OmniFocus for Mac

Since upgrading to OmniFocus 2.3, typing the name of the day (for example “mon”) no longer sets the date of a task to the next monday. This used to work and was a rather nice feature. What’s gone wrong?

It’s working fine for me.

@MalcolmHLevitt Sorry about this! Would you mind sending us an email so we can help troubleshoot this further?

Sure, thanks for your response. I’m running OmniFocus/2.3/GM-v101.2.1 on a MacBookPro with OSX 10.10.5. If I create a new action and type “mon” into the “due date” box then it just sets the date to today, not the next monday. And the same for everything else, such as “+1w” which doesnt work either, etc.

This behaviour turned out to be due to a non-standard date format in System Preferences. Restoring the default date format eliminated the problem.
