<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.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone else having trouble with the Date Expression no longer parsing out? How is everyone else dealing with this? The timewalk plugin is no longer compatible, so we had to disable
it, which is very inconvenient to now have to manually reenter all the same information.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It sounded like Aspace was going to include a fix with v3.0.2, but the automatic date expression parsing still does not function (with or without the plugin).
