Their Response to the 'Original' Bug
[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
Invalid dates are not accepted but rounded down to the nearest valid date. This only happens when the day is 31 or less (i.e the app does not accept if
2022-08-32is entered).Items for the Tester to Verify
:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
:question: Issue severity
Team chose [severity.Low]
Originally [severity.Medium]
- [x] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: Not specified in your user guide nor in the app itself, can affect typical usage.
2022-02-31 is allowed even though February only has 28 days (29 on a leap year) if I recall.
The invalid date is allowed and will be recorded as 2022-02-28. This allowance of invalid inputs may leave users complacent and transforming of the date when recorded will leave users confused.
