Date drop down showing date when not entered

Design and Skin Customization

This aparna-generated module seems to be doing odd things. I've been testing on a newly generated module. Created a date field with the form designer. Created a couple test items. Then deleted the date field in the form designer and added the code above in index.php. The date still defaults to the current date. But also if I then delete the above code from index.php, after having deleted the field from form designer, it still shows up in form designer. I tried adding the above code in index.php giving it a datatime type and it shows up in the form designer along with the other one, so there's TWO fields now called the same thing.

I just want a date field that doesn't require a value until I actually give it a value.

I'll give that a shot, but the issue with having the date default and actually ENTER the current date means that the current date is entered regardless of whether you want to actually enter a date or not. There are many cases you do not want to enter a date. Such as when the date is a completion date, or when you don't yet know the date for whatever reason. Many other cases.

I'm not just testing, it's a live system. Can you please tell me what happens when I delete the form field from the form designer and put this code in index.php? I'm guessing the data is not deleted, but want to be sure of what happens. It sounds from your comment above that something might happen though.

It's not working. I pasted the above and nothing happens. Nothing in help either.

Do I need to delete the field out of the form designer or something like that? It seems like something is overwriting the index.php entry.

I've done it with and without a type of 'date'. Doesn't seem to do anything either way.

I've tried changing the value of a different 'text' type field, just to see, and that does work.

Yes, 5.2.27

This is what I have right now in the update section of the module's index.php:

 // Task Completed Date
    $_tmp = array(
        'name'      => 'task_completed_date',
	 'label'     => 10653,
        'value' => false
    );
    jrCore_form_field_create($_tmp);
