to cross a date

English translation: checking off

English term or phrase: to cross a date
"4) Correction of the failure that when the Additional Functions setting (System Settings -> Forwarding Settings -> Register -> Forwarding Time -> Everyday) was specified by ***crossing the date***, forwarding could not be executed"

Don't pay much attention to the grammar, I know it's terrible, this is a translation into English from the Japanese (which I have to translate into Spanish).

The document is a technical bulletin informing about bugs, errors and failures that have been fixed.

What I don't quite get is the phrase "crossing the date". The only thing I can think of is "crossing OUT", but that doesn't make much sense to me...

Thanks!

Explanation:
Checking a selection box often results in putting an X in the box, maybe that's what "crossing" refers to.

Explanation:
I think that they are selecting / choosing or highlighting the date and that is why "Everyday" or all of the days are chosen
