CREATED and LAST_UPDATED are not getting set

[aagrawal207]

Hi all,

I am trying to encode to a GPP string using this code:

gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.VERSION, 2);
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.CMP_ID, consentData.getCmpId());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.CMP_VERSION, consentData.getCmpVersion());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.CONSENT_SCREEN, consentData.getConsentScreenID());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.CONSENT_LANGUAGE, consentData.getConsentLanguage());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.VENDOR_LIST_VERSION,
        gvlSettings.getGvlVendorListVersion());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.POLICY_VERSION, gvlSettings.getGvlTcfPolicyVersion());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.IS_SERVICE_SPECIFIC, consentData.isIsServiceSpecific());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.USE_NON_STANDARD_STACKS,
        consentData.isShouldUseNonStandardStacks());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.PURPOSE_ONE_TREATMENT,
        consentData.isPurposeOneTreatment());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.PUBLISHER_COUNTRY_CODE,
        consentData.getPublisherCountryCode());
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.CREATED,
        ZonedDateTime.of(2024, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ZoneId.of("UTC")));
gppModel.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2.NAME, TcfEuV2Field.LAST_UPDATED,
        ZonedDateTime.of(2024, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ZoneId.of("UTC")));

For the consent that I am providing, I am getting following string:

DBABMA~CQBE28AQBE28ADIABCDEAbEgAP4AAAAAABagHmABIAJEaSFgIXB1QCMAEYAURBgBAAAgBAAAACAAAAIAIAACEGAQIAQAACACEAAAAAIBAAAgAAAAAUAAQAAAAABAAAAAAAAAICAAAAAAAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAiABAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAA.YAAAAAAAAAAA

In this string, the creation and last updated date is always the current date instead of the date I am providing. What am I doing wrong?

This works only when the date fields are set at the last, which is a really weird implementation detail not mentioned anywhere in the documents. Also, just on a sideline, it is in general a really weird thing at first, would love to discuss why it was done this way. This is the code which is causing this issue:

  @Override
  public void setFieldValue(String fieldName, Object value) throws InvalidFieldException {
    super.setFieldValue(fieldName, value);

    if (!fieldName.equals(TcfEuV2Field.CREATED) && !fieldName.equals(TcfEuV2Field.LAST_UPDATED)) {
      ZonedDateTime utcDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("UTC"));

      super.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2Field.CREATED, utcDateTime);
      super.setFieldValue(TcfEuV2Field.LAST_UPDATED, utcDateTime);
    }
  }
