Hi Caridad, Hervé,
It is correct that the system automatically creates a deadline text. This deadlines text is shown in the field ‘Dates’, and is based on the date you selected in the field ‘End’.
However, it can be overwritten, and it should be, in case there is no valid date selected in ‘End’. So you can write any text in the field ‘Dates’ to overwrite the default text, e.g., ‘Unknown’, , ‘Not applicable’, ‘Sometime in August’, or whatever is most appropriate. Or in the language that is more appropriate, of course.
Does this solve the problem? If not, or if it is not clear, please contact me.
With kind regards,

Dear Harry,
I know you are still on holiday but since I do not want to forget one of the aspects discussed during my visit to Burkina I am sending this message now.
In some of the “rubriques” like “Opportunité de financement or offer d’ emploi” if you don’t write a deadline the system automatically creates 1 Jan 1970. This creates confusion among the readers.
I know that we will change the whole system in the future but we (myself and the Crepa team) would like to solve this in advance.
Please let me know what can be done.
Thanks
