Error message for invalid date is incorrect

[petermonky]

The correct format for a date should be dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm, but the application shows an incorrect error message with a missing y, dd-MM-yyy HH:mm. This could confuse users as to what format should be used for the date.

Expected: The error message displays dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm

Actual: The error message displays dd-MM-yyy HH:mm, an incorrect datetime format

Team's Response

Years are universally understood to be 4 digit (YYY) and yyy is not known to have any meaning anyway. It should be clear to users that this is a typo. As such, we feel this can be considered a cosmetic error and will accept it at VeryLow severity

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

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

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Personally, this is not simply a cosmetic issue as the missing letter may still cause difficulty for those who are unfamiliar with the notation. One should not make the assumption that some aspects are "clear" to users, just because it is clear to them. Perhaps a more appropriate level of severity is severity.Low, as this error message only poses a minor inconvenience.
