Team's Response

The format of the date has been specified in the UG. Nonetheless, we understand your concern and upon checking the code, there will be another exception thrown for other cases of invalid date which specifies the required format of the date: “Invalid date provided. Your date must be in the format of dd-MM-yyyy.”

We believe it is thus, less likely for the user to encounter the exception message as the tester has viewed, and even so is a minor inconvenience as viewing ‘help’ or the UG will quickly show the date format. Hence, a low priority was assigned.
