So, what do people think we should allow as input in terms of string parsing. I am thinking of (d=digit)...d or dd - date of current month...Note how I did not suggest supporting any of the patterns you mention.
d (or dd) is fast to input and unambiguous, so I disagree it be disallowed unless you are talking how it be *stored*. I agree that for the stored freetext value, a digit in isolation is meaningless.
So I presume now Karsten is talking about defining what is unambiguous (therefore acceptable) in the *backend* as opposed to how frontend/middleware code would translate/transform the input prior to storage? I had thought such a widget would be seen as desirable on the "functionality roadmap"?
