csv format for date yyyy/m/d can not be imported

Using RTC 3.X, I am trying CSV export and import a couple of work items.
Upon export, I manually edit the CSV file to change the date format of the "planned for" attribute,
from YYYY/MM/DD to YYYY/m/D.
However, the CSV Import fails with error.
Is it a bug?

This is working as designed.
The dates are peristed in the RTC server repository as universal dates.
However, the dates rendering depends on the Client's locales (Web, Eclipse, VS Studio).
If using the same Eclipse Client (hence the same locales) to do the export then the import,
you can not change the date format in the CSV as it might be incompatible with the Client's locales.
