Hello,

It used to be so easy in SS 2.3.7. Now it's not working in SS 2.4.1

Problem:
When entering a date in the CMS, like 08/16/2010

It is - after save - converted to: Aug 16, 2010

But when you edit the page, and click save again you get the error:
'validation failed'

This is because the date is as text, because when i enter the date in numbers again, it will save.

How do i fix this/ Keep the date in numbers??

Thanks!

	function getCMSFields() {

		$DateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd-MM-YYYY'); 

		$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', $DateField, 'Content');	
		$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('Author'), 'Content');
		
		return $fields;
	}

}
 
class ArticlePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
 
}
