Team's Response

This is the default behavior for most date formatters is to prepend a plus sign to a year if it's longer than 4 digits. Meaning, the application handled it gracefully.

We are aware of a way to limit the year, but since 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, we deemed it as out of scope for this release.

We downgrade the bug severity to Very Low as well, since we agree with the tester that this flaw is purely cosmetic (i.e. formatting issues) and does not affect usage.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

Reason for disagreement: I believe that it is still a bug as the application should deal with edge cases or prevent this from happening.

:question: Issue severity

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

Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
