ReadyAPI 1.6 data source from excel date field imported incorrectly

Hi,

 

I have found an issue with the latest Pro version of ReadyAPI (V 1.6). When using a Data Source to import a value from an Excel sheet, if the value is a date value, the values are not imported correctly by the Data Source.

eg

If the date is 04/03/1951

In ReadyAPI (V 1.5) it is imported correctly as 1951-03-04

In ReadyAPI (V 1.6) it is imported incorrectly as 3/4/51

 

This is a big change to the system (I would think it is a defect as dropping the the first 2 characters of the year portion would break many tests. How would the system know if we wanted to pass in 19XX or 20XX) and I would appreciate if this could be changed back to the way it worked in prior versions.

 

Thanks.
