Status Not under consideration

Prevent forward-dating status changes

MAM 7.6.1.2 and Anywhere 7.6.4:

In the Change Status window, the Status Date field is editable.

I understand why status changes might need to be back-dated. But I can't think of any scenarios where users would need to forward-date a status change. That seems like it would cause more problems than it would solve.

Could IBM consider preventing forward-dating status changes? (in MAM and Anywhere/Mobile)

    There are situations where a forward date is required. We will not be considering changing this in core based on the needs of other customers and would suggest creating a script to warn or stop future dating for your environment.
