  • Date Created field enhancement (519, 521) - Date created field accepts both free text and formatted (yyyy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm, and yyyy) dates. Formatted dates can be sorted in search results and lists. Formatted dates can be isolated as a range in facets in search. Unformatted dates will be ignored in both of these functions. Works can display both formatted and unformatted date created fields simultaneously, but Advanced Search, sort by, and facet will only draw from the first field (if formatted).
