just a guess this defines when the request was made and when it was closed.
Yes, not easy to infer between custRequestDate responseRequiredDate openDateTime closedDateTime createdDate lastModifiedDate We may try togheter but I thinks it's better to wait for with a real and complete knowledge about those fields . custRequestDate may refer to a date the customer entered when he/she made his/her request (I suppose by default its the time the user created the request) . responseRequiredDate obviously refer to the last time this request will be helpful for the customer . openDateTime mmm ... may refer to the date thi request should be considered (or implies different status like created, open, ... ? But in this case would be openedDateTime) . closedDateTime the date when the request was closed . createdDate may refer to the date the request was 1st created (implies different status like created, open, ... ?) . lastModifiedDate last time the request was modified The purpose of this post is to underline the trouble you can get sometimes in OFBiz. Obviously some comments to differentiate those dates (or more creative names for some of them, namely custRequestDate , openDateTime, createdDate) would not have been luxury (as some may find this post ;o). IMHO, it happens that we find ourself in such situations, not only with entities fields, and we should try to avoid it. Like I said long before, the best API is nothing without its documentation,. And in this respect we have still a long way to go with OFBiz... OFBiz is great but it can be greater :o) Thanks and sorry for the long, but I hope not complaining, post. Jacques
