"Invalid date" message for valid input when editing contact on web interface

[Javier Lorenzana]

Not sure if I'm filing this in the right place - it's a bug in the web interface.

I'm Argentine. I live in Buenos Aires - something that Lucid Lynx knows.

Ubunto One is now part of Lucid Lynx.

Why on earth would the web interface that shares data with it tell me I'm using an invalid date format when trying to enter "DD/MM/YYYY", a format used everywhere EXCEPT English-speaking countries.

It is one of the primary goals of Ubuntu to make the user feel comfortable no matter where on the world he is.

I am not comfortable.

The data was taken without error when I entered in English format. Had I entered a date "valid" on both formats, I would have never known that it was saved incorrectly.

Hi Javier, which field is it that asks you to enter a date?

[Pavol Klačanský (pavolzetor-deactivatedaccount)]

Yes, I have also problems
At first, warning about wrong fields is too small and should have red color or be more visible

There should be popup calendar, where you can choose birthdate

[Javier Lorenzana (skqr)]

Sorry, just read your question. That was the Birth Date when registering.
