Topic: date variable not usable by scripting when it contains year only?

As I have been perfecting my Picard scripts, I've started to see issues with scripts utilizing the date variable when it contains only a year (yyyy) as opposed to a full yyyy-mm-dd.  Even when I try something as simple as creating a new variable with the same value as the date variable, such as $set(datetest,%date%) or $copy(datetest,date), Picard doesn't recognize the new datetest variable at all.  These functions, however, both work fine when the date variable contains full yyyy-mm-dd dates.

Is this a bug in Picard or am I missing something here?
