[Zope-dev] Problems with schema Date field - year is truncated
Hi, I'm somehow stuck on the following problem: I defined a Date() schema field in one of my interfaces. I currently have a de-AT locale, so I'd like to enter the value of my date as e.g. "dd.MM.", e.g. "01.02.1980" in my z3c.form based form. What happens is, that the locale silently assumes a format of "dd.MM.yy", which means, that the "YY / 80" is truncated and "01.02.19" is stored in my database, when updating. So, I'd like to know if: - It is possible to change the format to "dd.MM.", which is a lot more appropriate for my application (a birth date) - Make the application more strict, meaning that no data is truncated in any case. I tried to stick my nose into i18n.locales but was somehow overwhelmed by what I found. However, the following somehow seems to explain it: dd.MM. dd.MM.yy Nevertheless I don't know if there's a way to select a specific dateFormat, e.g. "medium" in my case.
