Default value Delegate Ends

[Mark Roethof]

Hi there,

Has anyone noticed that there is a default - out-of-the-box - Ends date/time on the Delegates form? Also an idea why this has been set (as it is the first of a particular year). Or why you would do this from a functional point of view? We are brainstorming about why, and why not just to make this default value empty.

Also notice, and a bit funny...
The default value is actually set to the first of 2020! Also validated on New York instance, still the same. So probably, if you didn't change this... in a few months the default value for ends will always be in te past 🙂 I will just log a HI case for this.

Kind regards,
Mark

Default value is actually:
var d = new GlideDateTime(); d.setValue('2020-01-01 23:59:59'); d.getDisplayValue();

I've submitted CS4350248 so ServiceNow is noticed about this.

Kind regards,
Mark

This is being handled by ServiceNow thru PRB1359507.

In the meantime we just removed the default value as this default value doesn't offer us much.

Kind regards,
Mark

It looks like in New York Hot Fix 1 they solved the issue of the end date expiring on 01-01-2020 but the solution is not satisfying. They changed the dynamic default value to 'First Day of 2100 (Date and Time)'!

We've cleared the default value since 2100 is ridiculous.

Hi Bart, 

please can you clarify how and where you cleared the default value.
