@WhiteNoise
Is the intended behavior of the time type property to be ISO 8601 compatible by default? If so, this is not a new feature request, this is a bug because it does not work as expected.

I chose that standard when migrated all my notes to Obsidian because I saw Kepano was an advocate of it in Twitter. I would be surprised if it was not designed with that purpose in mind.

Don’t get me wrong, I can live without support for it, but I want to confirm the development team position in this regard.

Offset (along with other formats) will be parsed correctly (and rewritten) starting with v1.4.3
