Proposed change
Make non-numeric date formatting consistent with the user's date format preference.
Fixes #22900
As the issue describes, the user setting for date format is not adhered to in non-numeric date representations. Since the setting does not specify that it only applies to numeric representations, this seems unintended.
This change makes written representations also follow the preference by using
formatToParts
to construct the appropriate output strings, just likeformatDateNumeric
already did.Setting in
