Hello, I am running into the same issue. Were you able to set the default date field? If so, how did you do this? Thanks.

Same here, I've changed our date fields to be text fields and make sure to enter it in the date format needed.

Try this in Kernel/System/Layout.pm
(this is global, by the way, so)

See entries like this?

Code: Select all

        $Param{Month} = $Self->BuildSelection(
            Name        => $Prefix . 'Month',
            Data        => \%Month,
            SelectedID  => int( $Param{ $Prefix . 'Month' } || $M ),
            Translation => 0,
            Class       => $Validate ? 'Validate_DateMonth' : '',
            Title       => $Self->{LanguageObject}->Get('Month'),
        );

Code: Select all

        $Param{Day} = $Self->BuildSelection(
            Name        => $Prefix . 'Day',
            Data        => \%Day,
            SelectedID  => int( $Param{ $Prefix . 'Day' } || $D ),
            Translation => 0,
            Class       => "$DateValidateClasses $Class",
            Title       => $Self->{LanguageObject}->Get('Day'),
        );

They call sub BuildSelection which has a configuration option
PossibleNone => 1,

So, you should be able to include this line in the above to allow empty. Although, that doesn't make it empty on load. But, while you're there, you might comment out that SelectedID entry.
