Description Rettich 2016-04-17 01:31:52 UTC 
According to the vCard 4.0 RFC (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350#section-4.3) vCard 4.0 only supports basic date/time formats. However, if I export a contact in vCard 4.0 format, I get the following:

--------
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
ADR;TYPE=home:xxxx
BDAY:1999-12-30T00:00:00
.....
--------

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a contact with a birthday
2. Export the contact as vCard 4.0

Actual Results:  
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
ADR;TYPE=home:xxxx
BDAY:1999-12-30T00:00:00
.....

Expected Results:  
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
ADR;TYPE=home:xxxx
BDAY:19991230T000000
.....

I am using KAddressBook 5.1.3.

I am currently trying to synchronize my contacts via an Owncloud server. However, the birthday gets lost on some on some carddav clients. This might be related to the format issues.
