--- Comment #12 from David Nind <david at davidnind.com> ---
I had a go at testing, but haven't signed off.

Some things I noted - don't think any are show stoppers:

0. Took a little getting used to - but seems OK overall. For example, if you
are used to typing the separators such as 25/ and having it come up
automatically.

1. Entering dates: 

- if you start, but don't finish (for example, you get interrupted), the date
clears after about 14-15 seconds (for some date fields only). For example:
Patron date of birth, type 2023 (where date format = YYYY-MM-DD).

- if you partially complete a date, for example 20.02.2 then click away (for
example another tab or application window) it autocompletes the date using what
is in the date picker - in the example it would add it as 2023. Another
example: 20. and then click on another window, makes it 20.01.2023. If date
picker doesn't have Yesterday or Today options, and you click away on another
tab/window, it is cleared.

- acquisitions - adding an item from an existing record: item details - date
acquired - autocompletes, when you click away, doesn't time out; accounting
details - estimated date of delivery - same behavour.

- cataloguing - dateaccessioned.pl plugin (added to a tag for a framework):
defaults to today's date (as expected), you can change.

- log viewer: as per acquisitions.

2. Dates with time: for example, checkouts and specifying the due date - from
the date picker if you select any date (including Yesterday, Today, and
Tomorrow) it puts the time as 23:59; entering it manually, it automatically
makes it 00, and you can't enter the seconds (I vaguely remember testing for a
bug where the time was important and caused "issues", but I can't remember
what).

3. Koha About > Licenses page: I think we normally add the license information
for libraries used in Koha.

4. OPAC - there doesn't seem to be too many places where there is a date field,
but this may just depend on modules enabled: 

- Placing a hold: doesn't seem to work, for example: for a record select Place
a hold, then show more options - can't manually enter the date (note that there
are no Yesterday Today Tomorrow options - only today's date and future dates).

- Your account > Personal details > Date of birth: doesn't time out, if you
click away it autocompletes if it can.
