Hi guy’s, is it right that when editing an entry that the entry date is updated to the time the edit was made?

Best wishes

No, it shouldn’t change unless you have actually changed it. It may be a bug. Dealing with dates in EE2 has been a huge pain for developers.

Could be a bug then, my edit form isn’t changing it.

When you go to edit, take note of the entry date before you submit. Then, submit, and note the new entry date. If they’re different, what’s the difference between the two?

The time difference is the time between when the entry was first entered and when the edit was made. It’s not a fixed amount of time as such, just depends.

I see, so when you go to edit, entry_date is showing the current time?

I’m not pulling the entry date into the edit form - -could that be the problem? I assumed it would stay unchanged.

Let’s try adding this for now (though I do want to get this issue cleaned up on our end eventually):

That worked.

Sweeeeeeeet

Yep - - thanks a lot. So for now every field has to be pulled into the edit form, even if it’s not being edited, which is no big deal. Will this alway be the case, or will you make some changes?

The intent is that if a field is not present in the form it will keep the existing value. It’s clearly not working properly for entry_date, but I think it should work for all your other custom fields.

Nice to have met you

It’s not working for categories :(

Entries updated using an edit form that dosen’t have the categories in will have it’s categories removed.

Bumpity bump

It’s already fixed in my dev build

I’ll have a new public build out soon, in the next few days.
