Hi,
Since the change was introduced in 2.53
> [@](#):
>
> CHG: ID3v2.3 TYER/TDAT now merged into one YEAR field formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.
I have a problem with it.
I saved the date before the Change like this:
TYER: 1991
TDAT: 1991-00-00 (I know not tagfield conform)
Now Mp3Tag shows this in the Year field as 1991-00-00
But after resaving the DD will be cut if it is 00.
1991-00-00 -\> 1991-00
1996-03-00 -\> 1996-03
and so on.
Is this intended behaviour or a bug?

It's intended behavior. It's not that less information is stored in the tag — TYER will have 1996 and TDAT will have 0003 (ID3v2.3 uses DDMM format internally).
Kind regards
