msg: invalid date format

pixerp

If you define an attribute of type date with this format : dd MMMM yyyy

it should display : 13 July 2009

In fact, it displays correctly but when you try to SAVE you'll get

invalid date format error message.

Is it a bug ?

I am using build 1218 and it works fine for me....

After upgrading to build 1218, I can save the date in dd MMMM yyyy format.

But when I use that date in a Word document (UDD), I still get the Invalid date format error. Other merged attributes are OK.

Here is Tomcat log:

I tried generating a Report of type word document having attribute of type dd MMMM yyyy in it... It worked fine for me.. check if <<CURRENT_DATE, dd MMMM yyyy>> works in your document..

After further testing, it is not related to document merge.

The invalid date format error gets fired just by selecting a date from the calendar icon (Today) or typing a valid date manually and trying to Save.

To reproduce, it's very easy :

. created a new BSV
. new BO Test with attributes AText and BDate (dd MMMM yyyy)
. now, in test mode, try to create a BO Test instance with a BDAte ...

=> Error: BDate:Attribute has invalid format !
