My instance of the ATR was configured to enter dates in the following format: 01/01/2001 or MM/DD/YYYY

After entering the date 01/01/2001 into Patron funding date, the data was accepted but the value shown in the bucket changed to 0001/01.

However, the value shown in the list of funding was in the format 01/01/2001. But when I edited another funding date in the list, that value of 01/01/2001 changed to 0001/01. 0001/01 appears to be the value of the data stored.

If I enter a funding date in this format: 2001-01-01, it is stored in that format and seems to work when searching funding date.

So there are two issues: the date format preference seemingly doesn't currently apply to this field in the entry bucket and there is some issue with how it is storing dates in the MM/DD/YYYY format.
