Can we query for values not existing in date fields?

We have a Date field in one of our records and our PM would like to find all unresolved records that currently do not have the value filled in.

When I look at the options for Date fields in the queries it shows Exists but not something like "Does not Exist".

With RTC 3.0.1.1 I just created a query in the eclipse client that runs against an attribute of type timestamp. The query editor provides me with a "unassgned" check box that works for me.

Thanks Ralph. It does work well in the Eclipse client but when I viewed the query in the Web Client the condition for the timestamp field now says "is = 12/31/1969" rather than "is = 'Unassigned'".

Looks like the query doesn't translate to the Web Client even when created in the Eclipse client.

Is this a known issue?

Hi Michael,

I have found https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=157599

I was able to reproduce your symptom, except for me it shows 1/1/1970 which s the start time the date in milliseconds is based on (Java).
