<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Laurie,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to clarify one point you raised in your email. There is no automatic date parsing in AS out of the box; I’m thinking that any date parsing that you enjoyed was coming from Timewalk. The recent release notes for AS 3.0.2 did talk
about date parsing, but that was very specific to preexisting dates in Agent records and was a one-time process associated with the update past 3.0.0, at which point AS parses dates for Agents. That date parsing isn’t referring to a feature in AS, just a one
time script that gets run as part of the update past 3.0.0 and then never again.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This doesn’t help you, I know! I’m only clarifying that note associated with 3.0.2 and beyond and that date parsing isn’t a feature (so I wouldn’t expect a fix except from an updated timewalk plugin)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've never used the Timewalk plugin, but why use the date expression field at all when you don't have to? That would avoid having to enter the same information twice, aside from cases like "Spring 2020," which don't translate perfectly
to the normalized date fields.<o:p></o:p></p>
