Hi

I had face this problem in mobilepickdate in IOS and android machine. Does any one face this before?

In mobilepickdate, If I pick the date after 1936, it will return 1/1/1936. But if I pick the date before 1936, for example
1/1/1925, it will return 1/1/25. Therefore if I convert to date function, it will get the date 1/1/2025.

This also affect the data range limit in mobilepickdate function, if i use mobilepickdate("date", , "1/1/1910", "1/1/2015",). Then the date range selection is only for year 2010 to 2015.

Does any one have solution on it? or this is a bug?

Regards

In LiveCode it would be due to the centuryCutoff property, which controls which century a date belongs to. But LiveCode's default cutoff is 1935, which isn't what you are seeing, and LiveCode only applies a cutoff to 2-character years; if you use a 4-character year it isn't changed. That makes me think the problem might be in iOS, but I haven't done any research about it.

Still a problem as of July 2016. We need MobilePickDate to return a four digit year in the result. Otherwise we cannot use the date picker to select birthdates.
