Description

*Proposal*
Add support for multiple types of date times for CSV upload with the InfluxDB CLI.

*Current Behavior*
The CLI only supports Unix timestamp, RFC3339, and use defined truncations of RFC3339 (like dateTime:2006-01-02) for the influx write command.

*Desired Behavior*
Accept other types of user defined timestamps like:
YYYY/MM/DD
DD/MM/YYYY

Thank you

Research direction

Start by tracing the InfluxDB CLI's CSV upload path for the write command and how it currently handles Unix timestamps, RFC3339, and user-defined RFC3339 truncations. Define how formats such as YYYY/MM/DD and DD/MM/YYYY should be specified and parsed, then verify uploads using representative CSV inputs.
