<!-- Answer --> The issue you're encountering with ZenTao's "long-term" planned dates causing parsing errors in Apache DevLake is due to the inability to parse non-standard date formats like "长\\u671f" (long-term) into the expected date format. Currently, Apache DevLake uses the `CSTTime` type for date parsing, which expects specific date formats <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/core/models/common/cst_time_test.go)</sup>. To address this issue, you would need to implement custom logic to handle non-standard date formats like "long-term". This could involve: 1. **Date Format Handling**: Modify the date parsing logic to recognize and appropriately handle non-standard date formats. This might involve mapping "long-term" to a specific date or handling it as a special case. 2. **Error Handling**: Enhance error handling mechanisms to gracefully manage parsing errors when encountering unexpected date formats. 3. **Testing**: Add tests to ensure that the new logic correctly handles these non-standard formats without causing errors. Since the current implementation does not support this directly, you might need to extend the existing date parsing functionality or introduce a new mechanism to handle such cases. If you're willing to submit a PR, you could start by exploring the `CSTTime` parsing logic and consider how to integrate handling for "long-term" dates. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To continue talking to [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), mention @dosu.* --- <sup>Help Dosu learn!
