Dates beyond 12/31/2029 revert to 19xx

Not sure if this should be under the feature request or as a "bug" report. I have submitted this as a ticket but wanted to bring it up here as well.

When entering a date into most, if not all, fields, it defaults back to a 2-digit year, i.e., 01/01/2025 becomes 01/01/25. When you expand that back out, it shows correctly again; however, if you enter 01/01/2030, it shrinks to 01/01/30, and when expanded again, becomes 01/01/1930. I assume it is a remnant of the good old Y2K fix, and I understand that this is affecting other applications than just WHD, such as Excel, even. If I may make a suggestion, I think the best fix would be to stop reducing dates to a 2-digit year and have it always display the full 4 digits.

What date format are you using as defined in Setup > General > Time & Place > Business Zones ?

You genius you... Thanks. I updated it to m/d/yyyy, and it now works as I want.

Glad to be of service! It did ring a bell with me and I did remember the workaround from the Advanced Engineers at SW WHD support. I think it it a bit of off the shelf code integrated into the application which is now very outdated.
