To me, the issue seems to be best described as turning off date/time
recognition, at least for dates and/or times that are not properly formatted.
Maybe the best way to do this is add a more detailed date/time recognition
format, where all permissable formats are enumerated in detail. (Something like
for normal number formats, but separately.)
And adding the option of permissive date format, and maybe permissive time
format, where alternate separators could be accepted.
e.g. for date one could have :
yy/mm/dd mm/dd yy-mm-dd yyyy/mm/dd would only accept as dates strings such as
09/02/22 (as 2009/02/22) or 09/21 (as 2009/09/21) or 08-11-23 (as 2008/11/23) or
2007/05/25, but not 2007-05-25 unless the permissive flag is set (wrong
separator)
(These examples all being in order year-month-day. Other orders could be used.)
Similarly for time.
An option to use system defaults would be useful, with the same option for
permissive separators.
Thus for those who wish to avoid auto-format of dates, one could select system
defaults in non-permissive mode, or even no formats (no system defaults and
empty list of formats)
(My personal option would be probably be the last.)
