date of creation

[Erica]

Good afternoon,

Issue with "Dates of Creation" field:

Ever since our recent migration (May 2011) we have noticed that the
data entered into the dates of creation field is now regularly deleted
after saving the description - the prompt in red font tells us to add
the mandatory data to the dates of creation field. This anomoly is
resulting in our team having to open the entry twice in order to
accomplish the same work it previously took us one time to do, thus
delaying workflow considerably. Any suggestions you might have would
be very much appreciated!

Thank you,
Erica

Hi Erica,

I can't reproduce this problem.  Is it occurring when you edit an existing description, or when you add a new one?

Hi Erica,

I've taken screenshots of the process I'm using to add a new description with a creator and creation dates.  It all seems to be working fine.   Could you please try again?  If you are still having problems with dates going missing when you create a new description (lets ignore the "duplicate" case for now), please email me step-by-step description of exactly what you are doing leading up to the error.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

 

If I create a brand new record, it will happen. Once I duplicate a record, the date field will also duplicate itself over; however, if I have to change the data within this field, it will delete this new data and I will have to re-enter it after I save the first time…

Hi David,

 

I’ve been plugging away at data entry all afternoon. I just created a “brand new” record and was able to do so without losing my date field… so even though you didn’t ask, here are my steps for creating a duplicate record as this is the type of record I regularly create:

 

v  Select existing item entry

v  Duplicate entry

v  Open fields and delete/populate as required

·        Within dates of creation, delete

·        Select add new

·        Populate date field

·        Press submit 

 

 

 

v  See filled date field:

 

 

 

v  Continue with data entry

v  Select “published” as publication status

v  Select save

v  Receive following message:

 

 

v  Select edit again, populate date field again and save again - the second save seems to keep it.

Great!  I did fix one bug with my changes to auto-populate the NBCA repository - so that may have been the culprit.

so even though you didn’t ask, here are my steps for creating a duplicate record as this is the type of record I regularly create:

Awesome, thanks for the detailed steps Erica.  I couldn't get to this today, and I'm off tomorrow, so I'll test it out on Friday and get back to you.

Cheers,
