Inconsistency Between UI and API for Future Status Subscription Start Date

Inconsistency Between UI and API for Future Status Subscription Start Date

Hi Zoho Team,

I noticed an inconsistency in how the start date is displayed for future status subscriptions in Zoho. The UI shows one start date, while the API response seems to return what looks more like the activation date (ActivateDate).

Could you please clarify whether this is a bug or if there is another explanation for this behavior?

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
