Problem: can't enter dates earlier than 1900 in rights metadata entry form

sallain commented 5 years ago

Expected behaviour I should be able to add whatever dates I want in the determination date, start date, and end date fields.

Is it likely that I'd need to do this? Not really! But I should be able to do it all the same.

Current behaviour I can only enter years that start with "19" or "20". It's not possible to add a determination, start, or end date that took place in the 1800s or any other century except for the 20th and 21st.

Steps to reproduce

Click on the metadata icon for a transfer and then on Add under Rights.
Try to enter "1895" as the determination, start, or end date.

Your environment (version of Archivematica, OS version, etc) 1.8

Thank you for this report.

I just did a fresh install of Archivematica and I can still observe the bug, although I believe we should be able to set a date prior to 1900 with the ISO 8601 standard - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Years for more information on this.

Another note: I believe that the name of the standard is 8601, not ISO 8061 - there is a small typo on the UI: https://www.iso.org/standard/70907.html
