Due by 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM
Looks like a MS bug.
To fix it, follow the steps below:-
- Open the site in SharePoint Designer.
- On your left panel, click on Workflows
- Click on the specific workflow and click on Edit Workflow
- Click on the process name. Example below. In this case, click on "Approval".
- You will get the next screen. See below. Click on "Change the behavior of the overall task process".
- You will get the below screen
- The value that is configured in the workflow shows 1/1/1900 8:00:00 AM but in the email we get 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM. A bug ??
- What I did to fix it is to change equals to less than as shown below.
- Problem fixed :-).
- In your next email, you will see "Due by None" instead of "Due by 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM"
Agreed it's a good way to get rid of it (in a sense), but how is this a fix? If due date is displayed as 'None' you might as well take out the related IF statements.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I need the emails to show the actual due date, unfortunately I can't seem to attach it properly as there is no drop down selection for current task.
Do you have any other suggestions? I would agree with you that this is a MS Bug.
