API doesn accept colons (:)

I have raised this issue before but now seeing the extent of how bad this behavior can be.

Trying to add info into the Job description with a date-time in usual format e.g. 10 August 2023 12:38:38. The result in the Job window "10 August 2023 123838".

Typing : into the job description field and saving the job saves the colon!!!

Pleeeease alter your API to accept colons as it really doesnt make sense not to.
