Additional information

[Acylation]

While the display format of date / date time varies according to the OS locale, Obsidian accepts the ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) format date for the stored property value, and the conversion is based on the same ymd sequence. You may try entering a date using the date / date time picker, and see the format of the stored value.

Your string “17.10.2023” got parsed as “year: 2017, month: 10/Oct, day: 20”. The last two digits were omitted due to the limitation of day value.
