Date format

mrtotes says:
I habitually use the date format "d Mmm yy" as it is unambiguous - even if it does presume English speaking.

RTM is happy with a Mmm format, it converts 'due Aug 31' into a due date of 31/08/15 (or 08/31/15 if you like) but as I type 'due 31 Aug 15' it leaves tasks as:

"Remember to buy milk due 31" 15/08/15.

Am I missing a setting or this this a limitation?

Thanks

Adam

Hi Adam,
I’ve added this to our list to investigate.

In the meantime, using the ^ would circumvent this problem:

Remember to buy milk ^31 Aug 15

That forces Smart Add to pay attention to the whole "31 Aug 15" as the due field, whereas it's just pulling the "Aug 15" part otherwise.

Hope this helps a bit!
