User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.91 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Created a new event with iso8601 date format YYYY-MM-DD in the start text box. It was converted incorrectly to MM/DD/YYYY. Used the lightning extension.

Actual results:

Interpreting YYYY-MM-DD as a different date format.

Expected results:

Should is too strong a word here. It would be useful and convenient for the input box to attempt to recognize different date formats especially since I cut and paste dates from elsewhere.

Ty Wayne. I modified the specific attributes of this enhancement 1701517 (platform etc.). I don't think it's needed, but you never know. I also turned down the "priority", assuming P5 is the lowest. Finally the specific tbird version I'm currently running is 78.7.1.

I don't think this is a duplicate of bug 1612170, that deals with extracting events from a message. This seems to be about the Start and Due Date fields in the event dialogs.
