After upgrading from 8.25? to 8.27, my weekday conditions seem to not work like before.
We used to have
{DATE(WeekDayNumber|Monday)}
and it would return 1 for Monday and up until 7 for Sunday.

Now it seems it always returns the number of the weekday given as StartOfTheWeek.

So the above is now always returning 1, and {DATE(WeekDayNumber|Sundday)} is always 7.

I had to change my weekday conditions to {DATEFORMAT(dddd)} and query the returned string,
but that's not really good, as it is locale specific.

No one else having the same problem?

Thanks
Guido

It still returns 1 for Monday and 7 for Sunday. Maybe your regional settings has changed?

Thanks Henrik
Just to make sure I got that right.
As today is Tuesday, it is supposed to return 2, right:
{DATE(WeekDayNumber|Monday)}

in variables preview this returns 1 here.
I don't see how a regional setting would change that value, given we specify the first day of the week.

We did upgrade VC and did patch the 2012R2 server then this behaviour changed.

Hi,

no, the number it returns depends on the incoming day - not the current day. It just parses "Monday" or "Tuesday". We will add a simple:

{DATE(WeekDayNumber)}

And that will return the current day number of week.

{DATE(WeekDayNumber)}
is giving me Error in argument ...?

{DATE(WeekDayNumber)}
is giving me Error in argument ...?

We will add this for the next build. Currently not available.

Very good, thank you.
That's gonna solve my problem.

I still wonder though, my tasks used be properly executed on the required weekday using
{DATE(WeekDayNumber|Monday)}
and querying the condition for Monday 1, Tuesday 2 and Friday 5 until we updated in May.

Since no one else is having the same problem it must be something on our end.
Quite strange.

Yes, we do not recall any change here.

We are also experiencing this problem with our upgrade to 8.2.7

The Variable value {DATE(WeekDayNumber|Monday)} output is equivalent to the day of the week that is placed in the string (Monday/Tuesday/etc) and not the actual day of the week it is.

This has broken all of our conditional statements.
