Team's Response

There isn't any universal standard form for time and date for all applications. It's based on the developer team, so I can't really say it is an error.

Reason for disagreement: The rejection of this bug report regarding datetime formatting overlooks a critical aspect of user experience and standardization. The current format (2023-12-20T13:40) lacks user-friendliness and deviates from established conventions. By replacing the 'T' between the date and time with a space (2023-12-20 13:40), the representation becomes instantly more readable and aligns with widely accepted formatting practices. Or the group can have different field for the date and time, such as /d 2023-12-20 /t 13:40.

This is because it directly impacts usability and comprehensibility for a wider audience.

Adhering to a standardized datetime format not only enhances user experience but also facilitates easier comprehension across various platforms and systems. It promotes uniformity and simplifies processes for users who interact with the datetime information, reducing confusion and potential errors.

Addressing this formatting issue by splitting it up into different fields or adopting the conventional format (2023-12-20 13:40) aligns with best practices, ensuring a more intuitive and user-centric interface. It's an essential improvement that contributes significantly to the overall usability of the system.
