I changed a field in schema.prisma from String to DateTime, ran yarn db save bar and yarn rw db up. Then I changed the tag in the form from TextField to DateField and I get a date-selector which is a nice touch.
When the input-field in the form is empty it displays dd.mm.åååå that indicates it is expecting a date (day, month, year). The field is not mandatory so it can be empty.
When I try to update with an empty value I get the error
An error has occurred
* Expected type Date. Date cannot represent an invalid date-string .
I found out it is trying to save an empty value (string?) with length 0 and this is not a correct date. So what I did was to add this check before saving, in my case the file EditEnhetCell.js:
if (input.foo.length == 0) {
input.foo = null
}
and I can make changes to other fields in a record and save it.
Thanks for the report! We’re working on a way to automatically check type and set empty fields back to null for you automatically, but for now you have to do it manually. Sorry about that!
We’ve got a couple outstanding discussions/issues about this:
And pardon I did not search for existing tickets.
