What is wrong with this data:

1 DEAT
2 DATE 03 NOV 1962
3 TIME 04:10:00
2 PLAC Vídeň, Vídeň, Rakousko

Check for errors result:

Perhaps it accept only HH:MM with no seconds.

TIME is only allowed in Gedcom 7 for an event date. Maybe Greg still creates as valid tag under DATE.

Seconds are theoretically allowed.

DATE:TIME is allowed in GEDCOM 7 but not in 5.5.1. At the moment webtrees is following 5.5.1, so this is an error.

It is very strange because I copied an old site with webtrees 2.0.23 (PHP 7.3) to new site with webtrees 2.1.12 (PHP 8.1) and in the old site the TIME tag was known and managed !
Even the information page presents a TIME field to fill up. This field is not present in the 2.1.12 panel :(

I did an Export/Import of the GEDCOM file and so I have plenty of errors due to the unrecognised TIME tag in the newest version of Webtrees.

DATE:TIME works in all versions of webtrees.

But it has never been valid GEDCOM.

Now, webtrees can tell you that it is not valid.

But it still works. Just ignore the error messages.

In a future release, I will remove the error messages.

What kind of change is planned?

It is very good to have a way to check the data for GEDCOM compatibility. At the moment, the only thing I miss with the 'check for errors-function' is a filter option to hide certain (intended) tags.

A complete removal of (certain) checks would be a pity.

> What kind of change is planned?

DATE:TIME has always been invalid.

I created a new error-checker that reports all (most) errors.

Many people are unhappy, because they do not care about most of these errors.

So, I will update the error-checker so that it does not include common errors.
