Weirdness with task dates in 2021

[KipperUK]

I just tried to create FPL files for 1st Jan 2021 and 2nd Jan 2021 and when looking at the FPL file, it comes up with a horrible negative number.

When I reloaded the FPL files, the year was 0202!

Possibly not a problem (depending how far into 2021 the dates don't save properly) but I thought worth noting as a bug.

Quick further check, it seems to be OK from March 2021.

Not that anyone might want to set up Jan/Feb tasks... or would they

As far as I can remember, this is a known issue, but I'm too lazy tonight to do a forum search

How did you set the date ?

If I use the popup calendar to set the date, it works fine (I tried January 2nd 2021), but if I type in that date, save the file and read it again, the date is indeed 02/02/0202

Use the popup calendar !

As far as I'm concerned, I think there are some folks somewhere down under who might have a different opinion...

Literally thought that as soon as I'd posted.

I thought I had used the popup calendar but I definitely resorted to typing whilst figuring it out.

I was just trying to work out the date format in the FPL file so that I could, theoretically, generate it automatically.

date 0 in condor is 30th of December 1899.
For the first of January 2021 you just add 120*365.25 + 365 +2: ie 44197.

Perfect, thanks

Is there a way of getting this bug fixed? It causes DSH to fail due to the faulty date.

Thanks,
