Expected behavior

Resolution

It is not possible to change any setting in the time account type that changes the validity to which new time accounts will be created.

This restriction is standard and exists because if you change settings such as Account Creation Start Date or any other field that affects the validity of time accounts, it will break all the already existing time accounts.
