Is there any way to make the locale property in DateTimeInput to auto so that that date format is automatically adjusted?

Check out [Localization in Perspective](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Localization+in+Perspective), seems like it is already doing what you want.

Yes. But its sometimes inconsistent. If I change my PC settings to that of a different country it only changes sometimes.  
Also if I bind locale property of dateTimeInput to session.props.locale the Date format does not change accordingly

I think that happens due to browser cache. Not much you can do about it from Ignition point of view.
