I have created a Key in Azure Key Vault with Activation date and Expiration date. Also configured Rotation Policy and enabled auto rotation. Please refer to the attached screenshot.

When I clicked on "Rotate now", a new version of the key is created but the Activation date is not set. Have a look at the below screen shot.

How to set the activation date when a key is rotated / auto rotated automatically (without manual intervention)? What am I missing here?

Kindly help.

After setting it manually, Activation Date displayed like below:
