Expected for the deadline to be added to the person with name 1.

Actual Error message shown despite 40000-02-29 being a valid leap year date

Team's Response

This is the correct intended behaviour since your input uses 5 digits for the year, though the correct format only accepts 4 digits. The correct format that you should use can be seen in both the error message and the UG. Additionally, any form of input that accepts 5 digits is not realistic as a deadline in our current time period and is likely to be a typo from the user side, hence it is valid, and in fact, value adding since we catch such errors.

Additionally, we believe that such an input is a rare scenario (a few 10000 years in the future) and do not affect the usability of the product as a whole. Hence, even if this "issue" is accepted, we will be lowering the severity of the issue.
