DOB formats #97

Open FayeThompson opened 9 years ago

FayeThompson commented 9 years ago

There are different formats for the date of births on different packs and on different tablets. This makes it quite confusing to interpret a DOB if they are not all in the classic DD-MM-YYYY and also to extract certain information (e.g. year of birth) from DOBs in different formats.

Can all DOBs displayed and recorded in the app be of the format DD-MM-YYYY (instead of YY-MMM-DD or YYYY-MM-DD as they are currently). Changing the date format in the central Settings of the tablet does not affect how the DOBs in the app are displayed.

Finally tracked this down :) I think there are two forms - one is eg. 10-Apr-26 which comes from the initial mongoose spreadsheet I used to stock the database, the other e.g. 2014-09-24 comes from the mongooses created by the tablets. I can't change this directly without access to the Pi, but I guess this is something to keep aware of when we import data next...
