FRED bad exDate result in poll

==========================

We are seeing a different (bad) result of exDate in poll messages compared to that in the WHOIS or in the info_domain EPP command result for some domains follwoing a database change, please allow me to explain.

At least one registrar in the past year has requested a roll back of the expiry date of a .mw domain following a mistake by staff of the registrar who put more years on the domain renew than what was paid for. We normally resist rolling back the expiry date but in these cases we had no choice.

What was done was to run an SQL command on postgres to change the expiry dates say from 2023 to 2022.

What we have noted is that when this is done the WHOIS will report the correct 2022 expiry date, the info_domain EPP command reports the same 2022 expiration date but when the “fred-admin --object_regular_procedure” is excuted and then we run the “poll req” EPP command, it still gives the 2023 exDate

Would be interesting to find out why this is the case.

This is confusing the registrar managing such a domain and we would like to ask that these dates should be the same in any future FRED uogarde.

Or is there a better way of rolling back the expiry date for a domain that has mistakenly been given more life years than wanted ?
