Web tag error

Hello,
I just noticed this very recurrent webtag error:

I never modified this file from memory and this error seems to be quite recent if I'm not mistaken:

Code: Select all

In recent MX releases there have been several changes to handling of dates. Only the developer can answer whether any of his changes might affect the ability to use <#recordsbegandate format=yyyy>. (The use of double quotation marks round that parameter value is optional).

Have you recently edited your record began date - see my screenshot at viewtopic.php?p=162868#p162868 and my referenced text at viewtopic.php?p=162853#p162853 - maybe Cumulus has a problem with how that date has been expressed?

I have tested various formats in the records began date web tag and they all work OK. I suspect your records began date string is badly formed/input.
All times are UTC
