Good ideas, I thought about those as well, they happen randomly through the year, as well as randomly during the day.
The run-if on the filter has "no qualification" so it "always runs" on Submit, regardless if the field is empty or not. We also have a act link on copy to new which nukes a bunch of fields we do not want carried forward, and this is in the list as well.

Are these records right around a Daylight Savings Time / Standard Time change? 2. Could they be related to some Copy to New functionality? #1 would give you values in both directions depending on Spring/Fall. Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Molenda Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 4:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Server - Timestamp Issues generating random values I am wondering if someone else has stumbled across this issue. On a form, we created a "Create Date Copy" field and on Submit (no run-if) a Filter will simply do a "Set Fields = $TIMESTAMP$" to this field. This was done as a test to see how long the filters took to run, and was never removed :-( As you might expect, normally there is only a 0 or 1 second difference between the core field and this copy. However since 2003 (that would be ARS 4.5) through today (and we're on 6.3, with 5.1.2 in between) intermittently, this "Create Date Copy" value will differ by HOURS. The majority of time in the past (Create Date Copy < Create Date) but also a few in the future (Create Date Copy > Create Date) They are always HOURS (plus or minus one second, but that is close enough for me to say hour) and never anything else odd. (like 30 minutes, etc) Over the years we only have 252 entries that have this condition out of 966538 tickets, but it is very confusing.
