Must be basic question, but I couldn't find a solution. I need to send some screenshots from a specific website and the screenshots must show the year, month and day. I cannot find a way to show the year as my current configuration on the upper bar shows day and month only. I know, it is something simple and the solution must be easy, but I didn't find a way to do what I need. Thanks
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0
Maybe not as basic as you think.
For one, there's no standard method to enable year display.
Older versions of MacOS did support editing the menu clock preferences file directly to add a DateFormat tag, but this seems to no longer work for me on 10.14 or 10.15, but even then, it didn't appear to support the addition of years to the display.
Short version: I don't see any way to get the standard Mac OS menu clock to include the year.
Maybe some third-party clock app will do it?

Yes, looks like no way to edit the clock to enable year display. It is so simple and so useful, it is a shame there is no other way than third party app.
