I attempted to fix this as a fix is needed for the validation time feature to fully work. However, I was unsuccessful.

My attempted method was to alter the API for getting date components so that it returns null for a blank date and false for no date field being provided at all. Unfortunately, this created a mess of type errors and bugs. It also created a cascade effect as altering one API resulted in having to alter several more.
