Have tested the attached Firebird-Database with LO 6.3.0.4.
Date format, choosen in the properties of the date-field of the tablecontrol, should be DD/MM/JJJJ (15/08/2019). When changing from editmode to input data it changes to DD.MM.JJJJ (15.08.2019). This seems to be the same with all frontslashes. Instead of frontslashes you could see points.

My system: OpenSUSE 15 64bit rpm Linux.

Comment 3 Robert Großkopf 2021-08-19 13:51:21 UTC
Bug is still the same under LO 7.2.0.3 on OpenSUSE 15.2 64bit rpm Linux.
Comment 4 Dmitry Mikhailov 2021-08-20 11:15:16 UTC
Bug is still the same 

LO version: 6.4.7.2
Linux 5.11; Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8)

I guess, that '/' symbol substituted with default i18N.ru delimeter - '.'
Thats why on en-EN locale this bug is not met.
Comment 5 Dmitry Mikhailov 2021-08-20 11:29:55 UTC
recognition of date format is global problem in LO

In Preferences, Language preferences - Language section, 
option "Date recognition patterns" - the default is "D.M.Y;D.M.;D/M/"
also can be added "D/M/Y".

but it doesn't affected on recognition of date in Calc, for example.
try to input in cell any of "31/12/2021" or "31/12/21" or "1/1/22" or "31/12"- cell data will be remain as text

I guess,  that this bug affected any system, where locale setting implies that date delimeter is not '/'.

Dear Dmitry Mikhailov,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
