The data browser now filters the dates correctly:

However, I seem to have a similar problem on the themes.

Would appreciate any more suggestions.

Filtering based on dates now works after changing the Type to dateticks

Thanks,

...was able to reproduce what you are seeing when using a non-RDBMS type property. Please attempt the following and let me know if you are able to filter your date properties as expected.

Modify your date property to "dateticks" type as shown in the following:
Save and export your schema changes to your workspace.
Create a new design file and place a few instances of your feature class with varying date values.
Open the "Data Browser" and enable the "Show Filters" option.
Attempt to filter dates using ">" criteria.

Let me know if this works for you and I will continue investigation on underlying potential problem.

I do get the correct pull downs for the filter:

Perhaps, the field itself is created incorrectly?

I created a DateTime Property and set the type to Date4:

...agreed with Jerry that the date filtering seems to work with other data sets as seen in the following:

...so I wonder if the property type in your feature class definition is being seen as "string" or "date" type which would provide different filtering methods (click on the filter icon to show the options) as shown in the following images:

I have tried this with another dataset, so the data is not the same, etc. and have no issues with it. Mybe you need to change the >= to => , etc. to make it work.
