Body: <p>I made a custom field. The field type is a Date field. I set the date format to european (Dutch) settings: dd-mm-yyyy, with time = none.
  I use the field in a profile that is published as a profile create form, where it works all right.
  To allow a contact to view the data they sent trough this profile, I made a profile edit form as a menu item. After logging in, the contact can see this date field, but as view only.
  In this last form the view only field presents the data as mm/dd/yyyy.</p>
  
  <p>I checked all the places where date formats are set, changed everything everywhere to dd-mm-yyyy. This does not change the date-format in the view only field.</p>
  
  <p>Is this normal behaviour, a bug or me doing something wrong?</p>

  Is this normal behaviour, a bug or me doing something wrong?

  It sounds like a bug, it should take the settings for the date/time, sounds like it does not.
