            Bug ID: 140957
           Summary: Date formatting is not unambiguous
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Storing peoples birthdates in Base is messy.
I have an application where we store peoples birthdays in a date field in a
table. It happens that we have a very wide range of dates. In our case 1917 and
2015.
I tried to change the date options but
1. I cannot switch off the two digit interpretation (currently 1930 - 2029) 
2. in the language setting (Dutch Belgium) the mask DD/MM/YYYY is not accepted

The messy thing is that if I do the input e.g. 22/01/1917 it stores it OK, I
can use the table as a source for Calc and subtract the year from today()
correctly, but everywhere it shows the date as 22/01/17, so I cann't see the
difference between 22/01/1917 and 22/01/2017
