String to date conversion with DSS datapage/newgenpages true and false
Hi all, We recently update one of our systems to Pega ’24.2.1 We change the DSS datapage/newgenpages from false to true. After this change we experienced a different behaviour in string to date conversion.
More in detail we have a datapage that retrieves data from an external system. The response is mapped with a JSON data transform. In this datatransform we map a date in string format yyyy-MM-dd to a date property. With the datapage/newgenpages set to true the datapage clipboard has the date property set to yyyyMMdd, so the string is automatically converted in a date. With the datapage/newgenpages set to false the datapage clipboard has the date property set to yyyy-MM-dd, so there is no automatic conversion.
I would like to know how this automatic conversion takes place. Is there any configuration that activates automatic conversion?
Thanks
