Allow for defining custom date and time formats. This should be globally or per tenant. Maybe have a few predefined formats to choose from. Maybe have ISO 8601 as the default. Let us choose the default time zone as UTC regardless of our local time zone.

Having a consistent format across all tools would be very nice to have, so being able to define it in DI would help in that. Having everything default to UTC would be very nice since 100% of our reports are displayed in UTC and the SevOne cluster ...
