What inspired this wish list request?
There is a plethora of posts in the Jmp Community concerning Date and Time data curation, e.g.
There are some tools which help a lot - but any improvement will help

With the history aavailable in the dialog window, it will be much easier to use the Format Pattern window:
Invest the time once to generate the pattern and enjoy it for the rest of your live.
