Timesheet upload formatting issues - dates

The upload is in a CSV file format. So if the date is 03/08/18 then it drops the "0" to show only "3". ie. CSV changes automatically from dd/mm/yyyy to d/mm/yyyy once saved and closed.

Then in the timesheet upload it rejects the line saying invalid date. So each time this needs to be manually corrected before uploading.

Is it possible to change this somehow?

    Hi Shaun,
    Can you give me an example of when a line wouldn't go?
    thanks

    As a follow-on to this - the Timesheet upload function does not have the step in the Validate & Insert part of the process to enable you to view the validation report before you post.

    This causes lots of issues when you're uploading multiple lines in a file & some go but others don't.

    Why is this Upload process different to others - can't see why the functionality of other JP uploads isn't repeated here.
