Greetings All
I recently updated manager desktop version after not having done an update for many months.
the “issue date” column is correct but the custom field “ready date” is not the same format any longer?
see images below for examples
Thanks
Phil
Please show the edit screen of the Ready Date custom field. Capture a full screenshot including headers, so we know if you use classic or the newer date custom fields.
The new Custom Date field does not have that problem. However in my opinion @Lubos should resolve this as it should take the format set in Manager.
thanks for your reply eko
I have used this “classic” custom field for a long time and it contains many years of data. I don’t want to delete it and create a new one.
It would be much appreciated if this glitch could be corrected @lubos
Thanks
Phil
I have just activated the new “Due Date” column and it has automatically populated with all the dates in the old “ready date” column and used the correct date format and has also set a correct column width. So my problem is solved.
So please mark this topic as solved.
As long as the classic field capability is in the program, it ought to behave according to date preference set. I am putting this into bugs.
Hi Tut
My old classic date fields are all showing backwards now
the first date field is ok (not a classic custom field) but the others are classic custom fields and are now displaying backward
a fix would be much appreciated , these fields contain a lot of historical data and I cannot delete them and start again
Thanks
Phil
You already reported this and the issue was put into the Bugs category. You will have to wait until this bug is fixed, there is no further reporting or nudging on needed.
In the latest version (23.10.15) you can now convert Classic Custom Fields to Date Custom Fields.
Go to Settings, then Obsolete Features then Classic Custom Fields.
In bottom-right corner you will see small Upgrade button.
When you click it, you will be taken to the screen where you can select classic custom field and Upgrade it to Date Custom Field. This will do the conversion and will fix presentation and sorting in columns.
@lubos nice feature!
However, I have just a query about that:
Classic custom fields are used (for reference) as {{ custom_fields["field name"]}}
Now, by executing this upgrade the format for the respective Text Custom Fields, Number Custom Fields, Date Custom Fields etc. is required.
Could you provide this information?
