Date field truncates information

[m-haug]

JabRef version

5.6 (latest release)

Operating system

macOS

Details on version and operating system

macOS Monterey Version 12.4 Beta

Checked with the latest development build

• [X] I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• [X] I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Create a new entry in the library
2. Edit the date field to be a valid ISO timestamp including a time component (e.g., 2022-02-23T17:43:16)
3. Click into another field

When the focus changes in step 3, the date field is truncated to just the date part.

If the time component does not include seconds, #8747 is triggered instead, but the information is not truncated.

For this issue, I have found that DatePicker.setConverter only allow StringConverter<LocalDate> as parameter. This means that TIME information is not storing into LocalDate object and causes TIME data loss. Should user allow to store time information in date field? I believe that DatePicker only accept information such as Year, Month and Day.

To make this issue a lot more annoying: Try to paste the timestamp a second time, after it gets truncated... Argh.... 😕
