[Koha] Possible to customize date format in notices/slips?

[Jonathan Druart]

Hi Arturo,

I do recreate on 17.11.10, not master. Can you open a bug report?
You should not need to specify the dateonly filter for dateexpiry, it's
automatically truncated to only display the date part (as there is no time
part!)

Regards,
Jonathan
