Hello, I need to change the format of the alarm journal's date range when it is in historical mode.

I was able to do this for the power chart date range as seen below:

In the alarm journal table there is a dateFormat property however that only changes the dateFormat for the eventTime in the actual table. It doesn't apply to the historical date ranges.  
Does anyone know if there's a way I can apply a format to these dates?

This is what my alarm journal table date range and properties look like currently:
