Did you try to set a custom date format in the Digital Clock's settings?

Yes but did you set a custom date format in the Digital Clock applet's own settings window? Can you attach a screenshot of it?

I am currently using Event Calendar (https://store.kde.org/p/998901/)

Thanks.

If it's a systemwide issue, then the problem is somewhere in QLocale which provides the string representations of dates for whatever locale you have chosen. Please report this to the Qt people at https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa.

Thanks again!
