Mobile version major timestamp issues

Show stopper.

Timestamp attributes with format hh:mm with no initial value set appear on a form in the standard version as empty - or undefined.

When use CREATE to set up a flight record in the mobile version, bothnthebflight start and end times get set up correctly as UNDEFINED.

However - and here's the show stopper, when I include these attributes in a form to allow the user to do some manual edits, they appear in the form with THE CURRENT TIME.

Moreover, if I try to delete the entries so they appear empty, the mobile app defaults them to 00:00, so I end up with a start and end time for a flight on 00:00 and a duration of 0.0 and the flight is moved to the Completed Flights list

To work around this would require a major rewrite of a system that has been working perfectly in the standard version for two years.

Finally, for info, even though the format for these fields is hh:mm, the only controls that appear on screen when I press the black arrow are the thumb wheels for the date- no wheels for changing the time

This has been tested on iPhone, iPad2 and on standard PC using Chrome

..... Should have added. Question for AwareIM Support.

Is this how the mobile version is ment to work (ie do I need to do a rewrite) or is this a bug

Please send us the BSV with the detailed description how to reproduce the problem in this BSV

Displaying timestamp with separate time IS NOT supported in the mobile version. If you want to have time selection you will need a separate TEXT attribute with choices for this and then use rules to convert it to a timestamp. This is most probably the reason for the undefined problem as well.

You do need to create a separate version for mobile devices - this is inevitable. However, you don't need a major rewrite - just add a couple of text attributes that will be used in the mobile version only.
