Update TimeStamp : CreatedDate

Posted on by Anton Tjiptadi 2,013

Hi all,

I just add Timestamp Created date and time in one of my table in AX 2012, which already being used for around 2 years. As I checked, after added, the new column already filled in by today's date. Is it normal ? How to update this, because it will be confusing as the existing record was clearly not created today.

I tried to update using job, but there is red wave in the column which result error. Can't we update this timestamp field?

Please help.

Thanks,

Anton

    Yes, this is expected behavior.  The CreatedDateTime field has a default value of

    (dateadd(millisecond, -datepart(millisecond,getutcdate()),getutcdate()))

    so when it is added to an existing table, it acquires the same default value that a new record would.

    You can overwrite the CreatedDateTime field, but you have to enable it first on the buffer object.

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa617541(v=ax.50).aspx

    xRecord.overwriteSystemfields Method

    "Gets and sets the property that indicates whether system fields may be overwritten."

    XRecord.OverwriteSystemFields will not work in this case.

    you are talking about VlaidTimeStamp Tables, so you have to update your table with correction mode as below

    Table1.validTimeStateUpdateMode(ValidTimeStateUpdate::Correction);
