        Yeah… I am stoned but this looks like it should be valid and there is just a bug in the code.

          I’m guessing the UI designer accidentally put in DD/MM/YY, when the code handles the date as MM/DD/YY.

            Sometimes if the developers don’t specify, the date format can follow clients’ settings, which can lead to unpredictable results like this.

              Yeah, I’d imagine you’d want to adapt for different locales. Here in the US, MMDDYY is pretty ubiquitous, but I’m sure it’s different in other countries.

      95% of people are not USian and also, can read the requested date format correctly.
