How to easily clear a date in the date field

[Karen_Walker_Da]

I am having the most difficult time just trying to clear a date in a field where I’ve previously entered a pickup date. When that pick up gets cancelled, I simply want it to be blank once again. I’ve tried backspacing, selecting and hitting the space bar and the moment I leave the field, it is repopulated with the last entered date! I must be missing someithing simple! What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone!

I have been having a problem clearing the Date Field info. Up until now if I deleted the time field first i could then delete the date without problem but now when I try to delete the time “part” & it changes to the current time.

Is anyone having the same problem?

Thank you

This actually happened to me for the first time the other day. Until then, I was very confused about this post :joy:

It happened while I was using the desktop app (for Mac) and was trying to delete the entire date out of a field in an expanded record. I couldn’t delete the entire date at once; only the time or the date, which would then reset each time I exited the field.

Seems like a bug to me. I was able to remove the entire date by exiting the expanded record and doing it directly in a grid view.

Hi!

I am sorry for the lack of clarity, sometimes it is hard to take a step back and report to people that are not looking at the same thing.

I figured out that on grid view it was possible to delete the entire thing, but suddenly not being able to do it on expanded record view is kind of a pain in the behind.

Thanks!

I struggled with this one too. Click the field box itself, not the date and time (as you might expect to), then hit delete.
