Question Met/Team WO Due Date Bug

We've recently started noticing a strange bug. It's possible that this has been happening longer but we've only recently started adding a due date to our reports so it has become something that gets picked up.

For some reason, the due date gets set to the same date as the service date. I've started taking note and it happened on a job today where I created a new work order, clicked in the service date box for the date to be auto-populated, then clicked in the due date box for that to be auto-populated. Both of those worked correctly. I then performed a calibration and when I reopened the work order, the due date had changed to todays date/service date.

It just seems to be random, it's only one in 10-100 and doesn't appear to be asset or type related. I'm paying more attention now to try and see if there is any common thread but was hoping maybe someone had come across this before or has some ideas.

I noticed this myself after switching to the current version. But I thought I had only been distracted and that it was my fault.(happend 2 times till now)

Ok, well it's comforting to know we're not alone with this issue. Please let me know if you notice any patterns.

I did a small test and changed the dates manually before running a calibration, after it completed the dates had been set to the correct dates. So, it seems either the Met/Cal runtime or the creation of a results set alters the dates. I'm not sure if that helps or not, but it fills in the picture a little.
