Inconsistent date format #19

Previous sections in the UG used the date format that was mentioned as DD/MM/YYY, but here it is specified as dd/mm/yyyy. Meaning of different format is not communicated clearly to user, even though the same date e.g 24/08/2020 works for both formats. Users who do not know Java Date and time might think there is a significant difference in the format, which is not informed in UG.

Team's Response

The message is still delivered and does not affect the intended meaning of this portion of the UG, hence it does not hamper the understanding of the readers at all.

Even if this is a valid bug, the severity should be very low as it is simply a cosmetic issue.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: The inconsistent formatting of the date is quite misleading, because in Java DateFormat, mm is used for minutes and MM is used for months.

Additionally, the formats used are different - dd/mm/yyyy and DD/MM/YYYY throughout the user guide even though both formats are meant to specify the formats for date inputs.

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.VeryLow] Originally [severity.Medium]

Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
