Hi,

How can we request Worldscope data that is connected to companies' report dates or period end dates?

When I make requests, I am getting data with dates that do not match the financial periods (see example below). Thanks.

request:

ds.get_data(tickers='<AAPL.O>, @FB', fields='WC01001A', start='-4Q', freq='Q')

response:

Instrument    <AAPL.O>         @FB
Field         WC01001A    WC01001A
Date                              
2018-01-22  88293000.0  11966000.0
2018-04-22  61137000.0  13231000.0
2018-07-22  53265000.0  13727000.0
2018-10-22  62900000.0         NaN
2019-01-22         NaN         NaN

    Hi

    You can add the field WC05350 to the time series request to get the Fiscal Period End Date alongside the other Worldscope fields.
