Date Criteria Defaults in Candidates Lists?

Is it my imagination or has something really weird creeped into the system.

It seems like all the date filters, like “interview date range” and “visit date range”, etc. suddenly default to “Next Calendar Year” or some other non-null value.

Since we don't user those criteria very often, all my lists stopped working.

Am I missing something?

    @john ronan This happened to us about a year ago when “Yesterday” was added as a date range option. (I take personal responsibility for this because it was my request in the idea bank that led to this problem. ?)

    @Brian LeBlanc, thanks for clarifying.

    So I now put it to BB: it's been a year and it is still haunting people.

    Any plans to fix it?????

    @john ronan I always have to fix the dates when I use the candidate visit lists.

    Hi @john ronan! I am the new product manager for EMS and am looking into this issue. From what you've seen, is this only happening with older lists (such as those created in early '22) or is it happening with new lists too?

    @Kelsey Huijgen, this does not happen to newly created lists.

    Any lists I've seen from 2022 or earlier exhibit this (except, of course, those that have been previously edited/fixed).

    You can look at any of my candidate lists that predate, say, June '22
