I had the same problem. See thread 'Can't add "date" property to new ZClass' from 1999-10-11. Here is Michel's response: """ [Zope] should be a little smarter than that. In fact, it should be smarter for instances also and just assume a sane value (like calling DateTime() with no arguments, which returns 'now'). Please submit to the Collector. Should be a pretty trivial fix if you want to take a hack at it and submit a patch, just sniff for a null value and insert DateTime() instead of DateTime(formvalue). -Michel """ I didn't patch it; I submitted to Collector. -- Loren

Hi,
Just a little question:
Yesterday, I was working with ZClasses. While making one of my own, I saw that Zope asked for a value to enter per property.
Why does Zope asks for a value to enter for a new property when you're making a class? I understand that you've to enter a value when you're making a Class instance? But while defining a class??? Is this meant as a default value??
This is particulary strange when working with a propery as date. What to do, if you don't want to give a default value? Zope always complains that you have to give a value.
Please, help to clear my mind
Tom.
