Hi,

I wanted to put this on your radar if it isn't. On the Mac, I noticed when rescheduling a task that the date picker doesn't seem to use the "Week starts on" preference. Just checked on iOS and it does. It's not a big deal, but the inconsistency can be a little confusing.

Thanks for highlighting this. Unfortunately the date picker control provided by Apple does not allow us to directly change the first day of the week setting, unlike on iOS. I believe there was some workaround but we have not fully explored that yet. I’d continue looking into this.

I thought there was a previous issue about this but I can't find it. I believe the finding was that changing the locale of the date picker can help. However we need to map out which locale provides the correct week start on setting for the user, and this may also affect the language of the date picker, which may not be what we want.
