690137 - Date formats accept different UI for different fields

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: MozTrap, defect)

Description

[Rebecca Billings [:rbillings]]

Attachment: date error

When adding a start date for a testrun, it suggested adding a date in yyyy-mm-dd format, but gave an error after submitting.

1) edit testrun
2) start date enter '2010-06-06' + all other required valid data> submit

expected: valid start date
actual: invalid date error

Further testing shows the issue was using a slash instead of a dash [2010/06/06]- as second screenshot shows, it accepts and displays different allowed UI for date formats.

could we just use a calendar widget for selecting dates?  seems like that would simplify things with european vs. us date formats, too.

Also- the start and end date ranges should display in same format. Currently the start date begins with the year, and the end date ends with the year.
