I'm using Zope 2.3.2 and created a ZClass. I wanted to add a (date) field as a standard property for the class. However, unlike the string properties, I had to include an actual date in the data field. It gave me an error when I tried to leave it blank.
Does anyone know why you MUST include a non-null date in a date field of a ZClass?
Cheers,
Hi Ronald AFAIK, it is simply that an empty value is not considered as a valid date type, and you specified (or had to specify) a type of *date* for this property field. There are other data types for which an empty value is not valid, e.g. *int* or *float*. Maybe best is, to give it a default date of *January 1, 1970*. --Flynt--
