Package: libreoffice-base
Version: 1:3.3.1-1
Severity: normal
My system has a default locale of en_US. This means that dates
rewritten to match my locale come out like 02/27/11 (for 2011,
February 27th). I prefer to enter dates in ISO-8601 format
(2011-02-27) because of its lack of ambiguity. (i actually prefer to
view them that way too, but i haven't sorted out how to do that yet).
I start a fresh database with libreoffice-base. Make a new table with
a Date [DATE] column in it.
If i edit the table directly, i can enter dates in ISO-8601 format and
they get stored properly.
>From Forms, choose "Use Wizard to Create Form", and click "finish" to
get the default form with a grid view.
Open the form, and enter the date in ISO-8601 format. no matter what
date i enter, it gets re-written to today's date (03/09/11). It would
be pretty easy to enter a dozen dates before realizing tha the
rewriting is getting it wrong :(
If i enter a date in the locale format, it is accepted properly. Then
if i go back and re-enter it (for the same record) in ISO8601 format,
the old date is retained (rather than being set to the today's date).
Feel free to forward this upstream if you think that's appropriate.
I'm afraid i don't have the space (or time!) to install two versions
of libreoffice and test them side by side.
Thanks for maintaining libreoffice in debian!
