OK I opened the 'Language and Region' settings panel and clicked on the ‘Advanced’ button and then clicked on the Tab for ‘Dates’
There is a field with a setting for “Short” which was 2020-01-05. I replaced the hyphens with slashes.
I had to quit and relaunch LiveCode for the change to take effect. After I had done that the command 'put the system date’ returns '2020/05/04’
If I click 'Restore Defaults' in the ‘Dates' tab of the advanced 'Language and Region' settings panel my short date format goes back to 2020-05-04.
