Dear All,

I need to change my session date and time in Dynamics 365 finance and operation, but unfortunately, when I changed it from session date and time it's not working.
Any ideas on how to change it?

Hi Nour,

I have just tested in 10.0.22 and it works fine. I have done this from Common > Common > Session date and time

Then on D365FO dashboard, it will show the new session date:

If you restart the browser, it will reset the session and get the today's date again.

Which version do you test with? Can you repro this behavior on other environments?

Hi Nour,

As it is already mentioned, as soon as the browser updated you will get a new session ID with Todays date.

A workaround can be to keep the current session and not refresh the browser.

Hi Nour,

The above provided information is correct. You should prevent reloading the browser. This is effectively the same as closing the AX 2012 client and reopen it. FYI, I created a small feature to have the session date as a separate side pane, but this is still being reset with a reload on the browser: dynamicspedia.com/.../

If you need to have a fixed date, you can consider a customization, where a date will be stored in the database. However, then you also have to think how and when to reset it to the current date.
