CausePossible causes:
  • A Date field has the Specific Date option enabled, but the value is blank caused by defect ARCHER-40359. During the upgrade to 6.2 P3, the Specific Date value is cleared.

  • The user's Locale has a date format of dd/MM/yyyy or non-US format.
Resolution
  1. Run the following SQL script against the Instance database to find the problematic fields:


select mt.module_name, ft.field_name, fd.field_id, fdd.default_type, default_value 
from tblIVFieldDefDate fdd
join tblIVFieldDef fd on fd.field_id = fdd.field_id
join tblLevel l on l.level_id = fd.level_id
join tblModuleTranslation mt on l.module_id = mt.module_id and mt.is_default = 1
join tblFieldTranslation ft on ft.field_id = fd.field_id and ft.is_default = 1
where fdd.default_type=3


  1. After running the script, go to each field found and set a date value.
