- Description
Example: I've created a created including two date fields, Date Started and Date Closed.
Both are date and time data type, with options d,2008,,blank
I've also created a wiki page and added a tracker new item form with PluginTracker, configured to display only Date Started. When saving the new item, the visible field (Date Started) inserts a blank as expected (from the values in the controls), but the hidden field (Date Closed) inserts today's date. If Date Closed is made visible, it starts defaulting to blank as well. So hidden fields appear to be behaving as if option 'empty' rather than option 'blank', or not picking up the option at all.
- Solution
- A work-around is to make these fields visible on the form, but this could lead to forms being cluttered with irrelevant controls.
