Task - Date completed - defaults to now

[wdbruwer]

We have picked up that the team are saving their tasks and setting the completed date on the correct date ( they don't always update their tasks on the day). But when they set the date and mark the task as completed then it defaults to now date. If they edit the task again to the correct date for example yesterday then it saves correctly. This is a temp fix however not a solution to our workflow. Is there a way to disable this?

Hi,

You can create a custom date-time field and use a formula before-save script or a Workflow rule to write the Date Completed field with the value from the custom field. Or you can just not use the Date Complete field at all, use the custom field instead.

Thanks, We went with a new custom date field, don't need time for our records.

I'm assuming the auto complete is being triggered by some script in the backend that applies to the Tasks entity. I'm not going to bother to go digging for it.
