We've created a custom activity which we are hiding from the normal activities menus via the display check box on creation.
The customer activity is being used to provide single-click navigation thanks to the regarding feature. When we create these activity records to link entities together we need to hold the start date and end date. So I decided to use the ScheduledStart and ScheduledEnd which are standard with activities.
However, I've noticed some strange behaviour with the date fields which means I may have to create my own start and end dates. Which would be ashame given there are so many start and end dates out the box.
This is the behaviour I've noticed:
1. Scheduled Start has a date but Schedule End does not. On Save Schedule End becomes the start date!
2. If you delete schedule end date it also delete scheduled start date.
Would switching to actual start and end be any better or do I need my own date fields and ignore these?
Cheers
