Make Load to Activities (aka Milestones) use DateTime for Activity Date

The Rules Engine action for Load to Activities has a required field for Activity Date that will create a Milestone on Timeline for the date provided. However, the Activity Date field on Activity Timeline records is actually a DateTime.

If we have a DateTime in our source, the Rule coverts this to a Date but then loads to Timeline as DateTime with 12:00 AM as the time -- essentially stripping the time granularity from our source.

Can we instead have the Rules Engine pass the actual DateTime value to Timeline when creating Milestones?

@john_apple agree with you. Date and DateTime is always an issue. Redirected this to the product team.

Any news on this… we’re pushing a datetime stamp but its coming out as midnight regardless, which also means it could be it shows the wrong day depending on when it actually occurred and the timezone of the user...

This is causing a lot of problems for us as we look to ingest historical data from another system
