Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Why is this considered a bug? I don't know which version it was, where we unified all dates to single format, but unless it's inconsistent, then it may actually be desired.

Hello Marek

This unexpected change caused QE test automation to fail. As component owners are supposed to know about changes, its either a bug in the product or a bug in the process. So I did some searching and contacted devs known to work on Sync Plans. I only found this:

https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/8079#issue-270678158


I admit to being biased, having used ISO dates for many decades, I did not search further once I found that suggestion that a move to ISO dates was anticipated. jturel and sjha, who both worked on Sync Plan related code recently, are not aware that this change was intentional. If you can find some evidence the change is intentional for USA customers, then that still leaves the issue of the dates being USA style when you change Satellite account Language setting to English(United Kindom).

Thank you

Comment 15 Mike McCune 2021-07-09 17:02:24 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
