Adding a date that's only a year
Describe the bug When I add a date to a file (edit or bulk edit) that's only in a YYYY format instead of a DD/MM/YYYY format, it doesn't save it.
Expected behavior Incomplete dates ie MM/YYYY or YYYY get accepted too.
System info (please complete the following information):
- OS: [e.g. Windows 10 22H2]
- Release Version 1.1.1
The date picker that is used right now doesn't support that behaviour as far as I am aware and I think this is true for a lot of them so fixing this will either require finding one that does (which might not exist) but that will add more dependencies which I am trying to avoid or writing one from scratch which is a massive amount of work because data pickers are quite complex controls.
Even if the UI supported months and years without a date, it would default to something like 1/1/YYYY so that it can be compared to other dates for sorting purposes so I would recommend as a workaround for now to just manually do the same. Just set it to the first of the month/year.
Thanks for the answer! I'll see if I do 1/1/YYYY or just not adding the dates at all.
Semi-related, could we get a preference option to change the date format? I would like to just display the year, for example.
