Dataset : deposit date and the displayed date of a dataset

[rmo-cdsp]

Hello,

I have a question about dataset "date". Here is a screen shot of a dataset I created:

You can see a date, Oct 17, 2018 . To me, it's the deposit date. I want to change it, so I edit the field "Deposit Date" of the dataset:

But the date of the first picture doesn't change. So, if this date isn't the deposit date of the dataset, what is it ? Or is it related to the fact that it is a draft dataset, and that the deposit date is not updated ?

I dropped the screenshots right into the comment above. Will review in more detail and come back with some feedback. Sounds like this is related to Updated Dates: Search Results Cards + Versioning #2607.

In the XHTML the date comes from dateToDisplayOnCard at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.9.4/src/main/webapp/search-include-fragment.xhtml#L522

In the Java, the date is set from

String dateToDisplayOnCard = (String) solrDocument.getFirstValue(SearchFields.RELEASE_OR_CREATE_DATE_SEARCHABLE_TEXT);

at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.9.4/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/search/SearchServiceBean.java#L389

@rmo-cdsp I hope this helps. You might also be interested in the "Creating a better understanding of DV's Dates Fields" thread at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/n4I-bn1ukyQ/HWnt3FsSAgAJ

@rmo-cdsp hi! Did my explanation (from a while ago!) help? Are you all set? Are you still interested in some kind of change or fix or docs?
