Be less strict when parsing custom date ranges

[ticosido]

If I want to display log entries for a custom date range, I can enter a start date and an end date. On my system these are displayed like this:

If I want to change the values, I have to enter them in precisely this format. If I enter something in a different format (e.g. dd/mm/yyyy), an error message is displayed, telling me that the date format is invalid.. For example:

Could this be changed so it's less strict about the date format?

Hi @ticosido,

This dialog does support a lot of different date formats, just not that one. For the same number of characters you can do 2023-12-13 and it will work. Also, you can click on the month and year and choose a date that way.

"yyyy-mm-dd" does work as you say, but you have to include the leading zeros - 2024-01-01 is fine, but 2024-1-1 is not.

I don't like that this is valid ...

... but these are not

It would be great to just be able to enter the numbers and to get the time, e.g. Grindstone does this great

@ticosido @GWeidmann a date parsing improvement has been merged and will be in 2024.1.
