I tend to report everything in decimal of the day these days.
I report everything in JD but convert to year/month/decimal day when sending material to The Astronomer because that’s the format preferred there.
The conversion function is really rather cute but I won’t quote it here, unless requested, because the complexity imposed by irregularly long months and years makes for a very baroque looking function.
