One item but different values in LS and Formula

If you create a date/time item and write the year "0022", LotusScript interprets it as "2022" but Formula Language interprets it as "22". Because of this, you can't validate the item value properly by LotusScript and rely on the right value when you use it in views and so on by Formula Language.

I would suggest that

  • the (displayed) item value should be converted automatically to "2022" if the item is configured to show a 4-digit-year

  • Formula Language should interepret the value the same way as LotusScript

    Dear Thomas, unfortunately the support could't really help me. So I try again to show my problem here with three examples, all built up like:

    a. User Input in a date/time field.

    b. Displayed Value in the UI document (after the value has been "converted" to 4 digits by the field)

    c. Item Value in the document properties box

    d. item.Values(0) in LotusScript


    Example 1

    a. 01.01.22

    b. 01.01.2022

    c. 01.01.2022

    d. 01.01.2022

    --> everything is fine


    Example 2

    a. 01.01.022

    b. 01.01.0022

    c. 01.01.0022

    d. 01.01.2022

    --> Why aren't values b., c. and d. equal?


    Example 3

    a. 01.01.0022

    b. 01.01.0022

    c. 01.01.0022

    d. 01.01.2022

    --> Why aren't values b., c. and d. equal?


    This is simply inconsistent. I don't even care how it is solved as long as all values do follow the same logic.

    Can you please open a support ticket for this problem?

    A bit of advice: change your logic on the field to prevent two-digit years. LotusScript was changed in 1990s to interpret any two-digit year < 51 as 1900s, and any two-digit year > 50 as 2000s. If the date had been entered as 01.06.51 the year you would get would have been "1951" in LotusScript and "51" in Formula Language. I have no idea what will happen with that LotusScript logic as we approach 2050, I would not be prepared to guess.

    If you want to use a four-digit year in your application (or might want to use the value as a date externally at any point in the future), force it on input via validation or input translation.
