Unable to add sessions that start later than year 10000 but able to have sessions that end after year 10000 #3695

As shown, I tried to add a session that start later than year 10000 but was unable to. However, sessions are able to end after year 10000.

Team's Response

It should be clear why you cannot add the year 10000 (or any 5+ digit year). In UG page 19, we clearly specify the format of the start date (year part) to follow the yyyy format (4 character only) as shown in the picture below.

We also change the bug severity to Low, because firstly, we didn't think this is a bug since the behaviour is clearly mentioned in UG, and secondly, this year is so far distant that a problem of this type will never actually occur for normal use cases and we are not dealing with certain calculations in disciplines such as astronomy and physics which needs to work with years of this magnitude and greater.
