Wrong date format when importing by DOI

Guillaume Larocque · April 5, 2011

Hi, when I import articles with the magic wand ("Add item by identifier") and I enter a DOI, it appears that the date format of the entries is in the wrong order. The month appears before the year. Shouldn't it be the other way around? See this as an example (http://i.imgur.com/CLweN.png).

Is this a bug?

What you are seeing is that Zotero has interpreted the date as a year and day (Y and D)-- this does appear to be a bug, because it is clearly intended to be a year and month.

I can replicate this-- 3/2011 is interpreted as 2011-00-03 for me as well.
