Workarounds
Please perform following while creating shared date fields between ITAM and SDM.
1. Once the field is created in SDM, create the field in ITAM as number field instead of date field.
2. Run following 2 queries in the database:
update al_form_attribute_def set control_type_id = 10 where class_name = 'usp_owned_resource' and attribute_name = 'z_end_date'
update arg_field_def set data_type = 99 where field_name like 'z_end_date' and table_name like '%usp_owned_resource%'
Restart IIS
