In v16.0.3 and below the report date on draft status report would display the report created date in preview mode.
Since v16.1.0 the draft status report will display the current date in preview mode if the 'Set Report Date to Current Date on Preview' flag is enabled under system options.
Environment
Release : 16.1.0
Resolution
New flag in system options is added to allow customers use either the new or the old way to set dates. The 'Set Report Date to Current Date on Preview' flag under system options manages the behavior of report date on draft status report.
Enabling the flag will set the “Report Date” for the status report to day the report was previewed and published.
Disabling this flag will retain the previous functionality to keep the Report Date same as the date when the draft status report was created.
