Editing dates in Cradle can be useful. You may want to change the default date format, or it could be you need to bring a review date forward for selected items. In this article I will explain how you can do this, including tips which may help.<\/p>\n

Attributes<\/h2>\n

Cradle allows attributes to be defined as dates. These dates are stored by default using the format yyyy\/mm\/dd<\/em> in the database.\u00a0 However, you can control how dates are displayed, for example as: dd\/mm\/yy<\/em> or as mm\/dd\/yy<\/em>. Date fields are displayed with a \u2018date chooser<\/strong>\u2018 that displays a calendar that you can use to change months and select days.<\/p>\n

If you enter a date before 2000, such as: 23\/09\/95 then you cannot enter a year number such as: 07 to mean 2007. Similarly, if you enter a date with a year such as 16, then this will be interpreted to be 2016 and you cannot manually enter a year such as 99 to mean 1999.<\/p>\n
