Additional Information
When publishing, a Date field type is assigned a length value of 8, which reflects the field length in the underlying data source. Before the ArcGIS Online February release, adding a new date field after publishing a layer without specifying a length set the length to 0, despite the database correctly setting it to 8. To ensure consistency between the underlying datastore, published layers, and added fields, field lengths are adjusted to 8 after the ArcGIS Online February release. The underlying schema remains unchanged.Steps to Reproduce
