When creating a new SmartList in Nag, the due date is not parsed correctly or at least in a consistent way. My locale is "America/Sao_Paulo" and the abbreviated date format preference is "d-m-Y" ($_prefs['date_format_mini']['value'] = '%d/%m/%Y';) The thing seems very messy: if the user set the due date as "01/12/17", the date is parsed as: Horde_Date Object ( [_year:protected] => 2017 [_month:protected] => 1 [_mday:protected] => 12 [_hour:protected] => 12 [_min:protected] => 0 [_sec:protected] => 0 [_timezone:protected] => America/Sao_Paulo [_defaultFormat:protected] => Y-m-d H:i:s [_formatCache:protected] => Array() ) This isn't correct if you consider the "date_format_mini" preference. Now, when trying to set the due date as "13/12/17", the date is parsed as: Horde_Date Object ( [_year:protected] => 2017 [_month:protected] => 12 [_mday:protected] => 13 [_hour:protected] => 12 [_min:protected] => 0 [_sec:protected] => 0 [_timezone:protected] => America/Sao_Paulo [_defaultFormat:protected] => Y-m-d H:i:s [_formatCache:protected] => Array() ) which is now correct according to the "date_format_mini" preference. How can I explain to my users that if the day of month is smaller than 12 they should set date as "Y-m-d", but if it is not they should use 'Y-m-d'? Even to me it doesn't make any sense. I will be glad to provide any additional information in order to solve this. Thanks in advance.

I don't really know. I may even misunderstood your consideration, but I think that "due date" fields do validate dates using flexible rules, allowing users to use not only dates (in some format I can't say) but words like "today" and "tomorrow" too. A little description is shown below the fields: "E.g., Is due within 2 days of today" Anyway, notice that even if the mini date format preference is not being used here, the behavior is not consistent, which may confuse users.
