    You can fix this by by changing the field type from date hierarchy to date and then back to date hierarchy.

     

    Basically seems to be a bug caused by the visual thinking it can only handle complete periods.

     

    It's  a pretty hopeless viaual at the minute I think, I can't seem to pick and choose which levels of the date hierarchy I want, and if you have all levels in there the visual takes up half the page, and coesn't resize small enough to really be usable.

     

    Hope this helps
