Fixes #5059
This PR fixes inconsistent date/time parsing when pasting values into cells. Previously, pasted dates were parsed by the server using its locale settings, often resulting in dates different from what the user entered.
Technical details
Applied the existing
DateTimeFormattersystem (already used in edit mode) to the paste flow. Now when users paste date/time values into cells with custom format metadata (e.g., European date format), the frontend parses them correctly before sending to the backend.Changes made to
/src/components/sheet/clipboard/paste.ts:Added imports:
getColumnMetadataValuefrom@mathesar/api/rpc/columnsto read column format settingsDateTimeFormatterandDateTimeSpecificationfrom@mathesar/utils/date-timeto parse datesCreated
parseDateTimeValue()helper:Updated
