Currently, time-enabled display in ArcGIS Online web maps & applications is limited to a full D/M/Y. Some time data has calendar year only (YYYY) and doesn't work well with D/M/Y display. For example, if my only options are a calendar year, which goes for a full 365 days, a date range of December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001 will show both 2000 and 2001 in a feature that has only year as a time attribute.
Please modify the maps and apps to function with a year only (YYYY) date field, and please make the time sliders lock onto a single year display, without always forcing two sliders that cover a span.
