Screen shots of new subscription form entries, and software errors we got after Serials crashes

When adding a new subscription, and after filling all fields on form, reviewing patterns, click on "Save", Serials crashes and gives the attached message.
Comment 1 Marc VĂ©ron 2016-02-19 16:54:32 UTC
It crashes because of the invalid subscription end date 9999.

It does not crash with current version 3.22 and with current master.

Workaround for 3.18: Leave empty or enter a valid date for end date.

BTW: It seems that the end date should be empty while the subscription is running, see Bug 7728

Version 3.18.x is no longer maintained, so there is no path forward for a fix for this. The best solution is either to use the workaround or to upgrade Koha.
