<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>
