3329499 - UI behavior when multiple changes are perfomed in the effective start date when inserting a record in MDF object

When inserting a new record in a MDF object that already has multiple records, the behavior for the Effective Start Date is inconsistent. Sometimes the system fills all the fields with the data of the past records and other times it does not.

1. Go to My Employee File
2. Click on the portlet Version History and check that the user already has records inserted in this portlet.
3. Click in insert a new record
4. Then, when selecting multiple times different dates for the same record and inside of the range date of the existent past records, it fills the data with the information of the past record, however, sometimes it returns empty.

• EXAMPLE:
  
  
  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
  
  Fields filled with the information from the record of April, 03.
  
  UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
  
  Fields not filled with the information from the record of April, 03
  
  

Due to the complexity of modifying the UI based on changes to effectiveStartDate, modifying the effectiveStartDate multiple times is not currently supported.

This is expected behaviour. We do not plan to implement support for modifying effectiveStartDate multiple times.
