Why not the option in settings to use the reginal settings or the international settings.

I have a general question:

I live in the Netherlands, and coding in PowerApps Studio is always set to the Dutch regional settings. This differs from the international or English regional settings. For example, we use a semicolon (;) where the international setting uses a comma (,).

This is quite frustrating. The only way I can change it is by setting my entire Windows 11 system to the international regional setting. However, this also changes all regional formats in Excel, which I do not want.

Is there a feature in the pipeline that would allow users to choose their regional settings directly within Power Platform? That would be fantastic. Additionally, having the option to enforce a single, unified regional setting (like the international one) for all users would be very helpful.

It is especially challenging for me to use PowerApps GPT as an example since the Dutch settings provide limited suggestions compared to the international ones. Having a consistent regional setting for all users would make development much easier.

The saving issue could stem from a network problem, browser interference, or Power Apps platform instability. Start by checking your network and browser, and then inspect the app for configuration issues. If the problem persists, escalate it to Microsoft Support.

Hi @Steven | TIMI365

Unfortunately in order to make Power Apps development seamless across different regions the syntax is applied at device Regional Setting level and there is no direct setting in Power Apps to negate the effect of this. This might be a good subject to put on the Power Apps Ideas Forum.
