CMDB date field always required?

[drodralv]

Hello,

I have a question about date type fields for the CMDB. Even when is not required in the definition class code, the date is autofilled and we would like to keep it blank as some dates are not known yet. Is that normal? I´m thinking just in the way of leaving that fields as text type, to avoid that.

I´m attaching a photo, if that may help.

Thank you

Hi,

Did you try to make it optional? Would be the easier to see your class definition.

Hi, the date fields not mandatory should have empty option i guess. The definition of the last 2 date fields is:

{
Key => 'RevocationDate',
Name => 'Revocation Date',
Searchable => 1,
Input => {
Type => 'Date',
YearPeriodPast => 20,
YearPeriodFuture => 10,
Required => 0,
},
},
{
Key => 'ExpirationDate',
Name => 'Expiration Date',
Searchable => 1,
Input => {
Type => 'Date',
YearPeriodPast => 20,
YearPeriodFuture => 10,
Required => 1,
},

So for the expirationdate, the required 1 is fine, as should be mandatory. The revocationdate does not allow me to be empty and that is a problem for us.

Any idea? OTRS 5.0.28

Thank you

Hi,

I would try this:

Code: Select all

{
  Key => 'RevocationDate',
  Name => 'Revocation Date',
  Searchable => 1,
  Input => {
    Type => 'Date',
    YearPeriodPast => 20,
    YearPeriodFuture => 10,
    Required => 0,
  },
  CountMin => 0,
  CountMax => 1,
  CountDefault => 0,
}
