Previous thread in Issue 168.

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.

The system is incorrectly changing the date in the Date Funded field. Fix by forcing user to enter an ISO date only (valid formats are YYYY, YYYY-MM, YYYY-MM-DD).
