When you first create a new card a seemingly random date field is chosen by the card's date selector. At our company it chooses a deprecated field that was populated years ago but is no longer populated. This means that whenever someone applies a date filter such as 'This year' the card shows no data.
I am constantly fielding questions about why their domo cards are broken whenever they use certain datasets where it chooses a bad default date field.
