&lt;p&gt;I checked into it. &amp;nbsp;You are right, there is a key line missing in the backend which checks to see if the ActualCompletedDate is empty first before setting a completed activity to the current date/time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have changed this on your accounts manually (but keep in mind this can get reset if you edit the Activity table again). &amp;nbsp;If anyone else reading this has this need, let me know your account name via a private message and I&amp;#39;ll change yours too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will go out as a permanent fix to all users on the next update.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for catching this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While testing some screen functions, I noticed that I can&amp;#39;t back date Actual Completed Date on Activities or Work Orders.&amp;nbsp;I had to edit the Work Order screens to show actual completed date. &amp;nbsp;In some cases, my crews are unable to complete work orders in the field so they will complete them at home.&amp;nbsp; The problem is that when they save and close the work order, it uses the current date/time for the actual completed date and time.&amp;nbsp; For some reason, we can&amp;#39;t over ride it.&amp;nbsp; It also happens on the default Activities screen.&amp;nbsp; This wasn&amp;#39;t a problem with previous versions of Method.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, the work order screen is customized; however, the activities screen is default and they both have the same outcome.&amp;nbsp; Any advice would be appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
