2.2.2.72 StartDate

The tasks:StartDate element is an optional child element of the Flag element (section 2.2.2.34) that specifies when the flagged item was begun. It is defined as an element in the Tasks namespace.

When a flag is updated, the tasks:StartDate element value MUST NOT occur after the tasks:DueDate element (section 2.2.2.31) value. The server returns a Status element ([MS-ASCMD] section 2.2.3.177.17) value of 6 in the Sync command response ([MS-ASCMD] section 2.2.1.21) if this condition is not met.

To set a flag, the tasks:StartDate element, tasks:DueDate element, tasks:UtcStartDate element (section 2.2.2.87), and tasks:UtcDueDate element (section 2.2.2.86) either all MUST be set, or all MUST be NULL. The server returns a Status element ([MS-ASCMD] section 2.2.3.177.17) value of 6 in the Sync command response if this condition is not met.

The value of this element is a dateTime data type, as specified in [MS-ASDTYPE] section 2.3.

A maximum of one tasks:StartDate child element is allowed per Flag element. The result of including more than one tasks:StartDate child element per Flag element is undefined. The server MAY return a protocol status error in response to such a command request.
