Yes this is a BUG
This is how TIME date is specified in the ISO 8601 standard.
1900-07 means month 7 year 1900 eg July 1900
A time interval is written as 1900/1907
see some of this URL.

I would very much like to have a button in Legacy that say use ISO
8691 time date

I am running Legacy Deluxe version 6.0.0.108 on Windows XP. My dates
are formatted to display as 21 Nov 1953.
I've been editing some dates in Events for various Individuals. I have
an existing date of, let's say, 1907. I find an earlier date to add,
so I go to edit the 1907 to read 1905-1907. I place my cursor in front
of the 7, type "5-0" so it will read 1905-07, then press Tab, and
Legacy changes it to 1905-1906. I tried this with 1900-1903, also, and
it changed that to 1900-1901.
If you just type in 1900-07, Legacy changes that to 1900-1901. In
earlier versions, from what I recall, I used to be able to do the
shorthand, and Legacy added the century automatically. Did some
programming cause this to change? I tried selecting "Format with
4-digit year" but this did not change anything. I normally have that
unselected.
Can anyone duplicate this?
Thank you,
Susan Daily
