------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Adobe JIRA)
> "dateFormat" value from "SharedResources.properties" should not be shared
> between DateFields and DateFormatters
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLEX-20983
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-20983
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: i18n : Formatter Support
> Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 3.4 (Release)
> Environment: Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms
> Browser: Firefox 3.x
> Language Found: English
> Reporter: Adobe JIRA
> Priority: Minor
>
> The problem in its nutshell:
> Currently DateField and DateFormatter share the single value specified in
> variable "dateFormat" in SharedResources.properties file, while those classes
> do not support the same set of formatting options (masks)
> DateFormatter supports a full set of available formatting options (masks) see
> LiveDocs for "formatString":
> http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/formatters/DateFormatter.html#formatString
> Y, M, D, E, A, J, H, K, L, N, S masks are supported
> DateField supports only *limited* subset from full set of available
> formatting options(masks), see LiveDocs for "formatString"
> http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/DateField.html#formatString
> M, MM, D, YY, YYYY are supported, while even MMM and MMMM are not supported,
> probably bug: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-23075
> E, A, J, H, K, L, N, S masks are not supported by DateField component
> The problem is that anyone during localization process of
> "SharedResources.properties" can alter the value for "dateFormat" to include
> any masks from full subset of supported options for DateFormatter.
> While this will be OK for Dates that are displayed with DateFormatter format
> applied, all Dates that are displayed in DateFields UI control will be
> screwed.
> See attached Flex project sample that illustrates this problem.
