Hi,
I have a date field in a class that I want to default to the day of creation. I have set
empty is today to 1 and thought that would do it. But it seems this set's the date to
the creation date of the class rather than to that of new objects.
Not quite, it's the date of the class template.
The problem is that you enabled "empty is today" before creating the
document template. New documents are created by cloning the template
first, and instead of cloning an empty date, you clone an existing date.
I know it's not very user-friendly, this should be fixed in the future.
There's a workaround for this:
- delete the class template
- edit the class and uncheck empty is today
- create the template again
- edit the class and check back empty is today
See if it works fine this way.
