Why has tasks no time for expected start and end dates anymore?

ERPNext

Is there a reason why the expected start date and expected end date in tasks have no time anymore from v14 on?

The fields are changed from Datetime to Date in v14. All tasks now appear in the Calendar as 00:00/12 AM to 02:00/2 AM. They are making it impossible to do decent planning.

exp_start_date and exp_end_date are system fields and cannot be customized/changed.

We used the tasks to plan our activities on a daily base, several tasks on the same date and now they all appear next to each other in the Calendar. Now Erpnext became useless for planning.

Does anyone have an idea why this has changed and how to solve this?

Hello,

Iā€™m facing the same problem, anyone have a solution ?

5

actual!

Only in the UI there is date not datetime, python has datetime.

If you want to change date to datetime in ā€˜customize formā€™ there is somekind of validation that refuse the change.

Itā€™s fixed in the repo on the master, it didnā€™t backport to v15 it will be in next stable.

Not included hot-fix for v15

8

Is this updated in v14?

9

if itā€™s not in the v15 itā€™s not in the v14.

Write in the PR that they should accept the PR in the V15

I switch from v15 to develop branch and now everything works.
After couple minuts of working with ERPNext and frappe I didnā€™t notice any problems on the devel branch.

11

It is closed and accepted in V15 apparently but not available in V14 or am I missing something?

12

It looks like this still hasnā€™t been added to v15 yet despite it being in the development branch for almost 11 months.

13

Itā€™s added to development branch but itā€™s not working:

  1. fields donā€™t fetch data from SQL when you make list view of the task
  2. callendar view for task reponds with error ā€œInvalid characters in fieldname: ifnull(exp_start_date, ā€˜0001-01-01 00:00:00ā€™). Only letters, numbers, and underscores are allowedā€

@frappefr I saw you message regarding resolving this in demo, how can I help you, what you prefered way to conntact you (telegram, here, whatsapp, github)?
