[version: Mylyn 3.0 from update site, and also CVS head on 6 July 2008]

Submiting an update to a JIRA issue fails with an error indicating a date-format issue.
* Resulted in red 'submit failed' text in title bar of Mylyn task editor for the JIRA issue.
* Clicking that gave the error text:
** 'Invalid date format. Please enter the date in the format "d/MMM/yy".'

The JIRA project I am using has a custom date field (with day resolution - NO time of day).

I don't know if this issue relates to a vanilla JIRA project, or is triggered by addition/use of specific JIRA field types.

Workaround: Have to remember to do issue editing via JIRA web, instead of the Mylyn task editor.

Please let me know if I can turn on any tracing to help.


-----------
In case this triggers any ideas, its worth mentioning that for some other fields I have seen Mylyn show a 'formatted' value, instead of the 'raw' value actually stored by JIRA.
Are there cases where the field values Mylyn gets from JIRA are not exactly what JIRA was given when the values were set? So attribute value round tripping doesn't fully work?
This was for a custom multi-line text field, whch has JIRA wiki-markup formatting enabled.
(above won't apply to this date value error, if only changed values are sent when Mylyn udpates a JIAR issue)
