Description Martin Renvoize 2021-11-03 11:36:03 UTC
Currently, our dateformat is only 'strict' with the rfc3339 format.

ISO dates may optionally contain a time portion, but that time portion is incompatible with refc3339 formatted dates.  We should add a dateonly option to dt_from_string so we can explicitly fail if an iso date string is passed with a time element that we should drop due to a failed match.
Comment 1 Martin Renvoize 2021-11-03 13:10:07 UTC
Bug 29403 improves the situation regards date strings with unexpected data prepended/appended.. but it doesn't strictly prevent a valid datetime being accepted when only a date was expected.
