Datepicker: inconsistent format between placeholder and selected value

The datepicker field shows the placeholder in ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2026-04-14), but after the user selects a date, the displayed value switches to the workspace locale format (e.g., 04/16/2026 for English US). This creates a visually inconsistent experience for the end user.

The stored value is correctly ISO, so the issue is display-only, but it confuses users who see one format before and a different one after interaction.

Suggested solutions (in order of preference):
A) Per-field option to choose the display date format (ISO, DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY)
B) Align the post-selection format to the placeholder format (both ISO, or both locale)
C) At minimum, a workspace-level option to force the date display format independently from the locale
