      Description

      Following up on this forum post:
      http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,11123.0/topicseen.html

      I tried to import activities to 3.0.2 using the supposedly accepted yyyymmdd hh:mm format - and got date field validation errors. For example:
      20071111 10:30

      I've attached the file I tried to import. Possibly both I and the poster are doing something wrong, but it "seems" like this is broken.

      Also, as noted by the forum poster, the "specifications" on the screen for date+time are confusing since lower case 'h' usually means 12 hour format. So we should clarify (and include in example on that screen) how times like this s/b formatted: 15:33

      We should also test / clarify whether a time element is supported for the alternate date formats listed (e.g. mm/dd/yy OR mm-dd-yy and the other choices)
