"insert date" shortcut does not work in Evernote 10.71.2 for Mac + solved + again not working in 10.74.1!

[EdN 1]

I use the insert date command-shift-D shortcut every day on Evernote on Mac, but in version 10.71.2 it does not work anymore, whilst inserting the time, ommand-option-shift-D still does work.

[updated Feb 3, 2024:]

The bug was fixed in a later version. I run 10.73.3 and I can indeed use the shortcut again. 

[Updated Feb 5, 2024:]

It seems to be a challenge for the developers.... The bug re-appeared in 10.74.1  :-(

[Updated Feb 6]

I don't know what changed, but it is working again in

10.74.1-mac-ddl-public (20240130023748)
Editor: v176.52.0
Service: v1.90.1

Hi.  There's a version 10.72.2 around,  which shows the Windows equivalent as Alt-Shift-D which works.  I use that interchangeably with a Phrase Express shortcut to insert date and time in one.  No one here to fix things - we're mostly other users.  Try the new version and if things are still not working contact Support.

Can just contribute that it works fine (shift-cmd-D) on the Mac with 10.72.2.

To update from 10.71 if it’s not offered by the app, download the installer from the EN website

It works in my case (Mac), but the implementation has been completely flawed since the introduction of the Electron client - it always inserts the same (US) date format, regardless of the user's regional settings. In the old client there was a setting for this, but even without a setting, following the user's region is essential, of course. I need "27.01.2024", not "January 27, 2024"
SOLUTION: I used BetterTouchTool to define a macro which overrides the shortkey and inserts the correct date. I also made it to work in all software, not only Evernote. This is just one of the countless features of BTT, i strongly recommend it to any Mac user.

It consistently inserts the (correct) German date and format on my 3 Macs. No idea why (and how !) it should follow other rules in your case.

Strange, must be a bug then. My settings are Bulgarian.

This has been annoying me ever since I adopted the new client, and I have changed several computers since then!
And literally yesterday I bought BetterTouchTool and set it up.

There is no setting in EN. There may be a setting on the system, but that’s not ENs call.

I have the same issue on Mac. I am on version 10.73.3-mac-mas-public.
macOS Sonoma 14.3
I have been unable to insert date for last several versions. Insert time works fine.

Thanks for letting me know that there is no one here to fix things. I will let support know.
Also thanks for the Phrase Express suggestion.
