I have a really odd problem, In my table I have a two fields for date
fieldname type
YOB year(4)
Date Date
In my fields.ini I have
[YOB]
widget:label = "Year of Birth"
visibility:list = hidden
widget:type = date
widget:format = "Y"
widget:minYear = 1920
widget:maxYear = 1970
validators:required = true
[Date] //works fine
widget:label = "Join Date (DD-MM-YYYY)"
visibility:list = hidden
widget:type = date
widget:format = "d-m-Y"
widget:maxYear = 2020
validators:required = true
The YOB field acts in a very weird way, when adding a new record the year selected is saved just fine in the DB and shows correctly in the list and view modes. The problem occurs when you go to the edit tab, the pull down menu doesn't have the right year already selected, it either selects the lowest, highest or 1970(if its in the list) year, in this case it defaults to 1970. The problem seems to be pulling the data from the field for the edit tab only.
Just a note, the [Date] fields works fine including its year field.
So I was looking for any help or explanation for this weird bug.
