1- Open a Sample DB
2- Open the To-Dos grid
3- create an item
4- Set the due date to "blabla" and press F2. The content is erased : fine.
5- Do it a second time -- now "blabla" stays there.
6- Now enter a normal date : nothing.
 
You can do the same experiment by first entering a date, after step 3, and then go on with step 4. You'll see that the date will then stay in the properties pane no matter what happens in the grid.
 
I don't know, but this bug seems to also prevent several auto-assign fields from functioning correctly : the date is updated once, and then nothing happens. I could be wrong though as this is combined with problematic hierarchical calculations + auto-assign equations not working as they were (pierre, you changed something in the way auto-assign equations work as many of my carefully crafted scripts don't work anymore... At all)
 
HHHHEEEELP! ! ! Pierre. I need do get some work done, outside of IQ.

Pierre, I just sent you an empty DB with some instructions. The problem is bigger than I thought. Hopefully it's all related and will be easy to fix as I'm pretty much paralysed.
 
I guess I could go back to a very old version (12 or 13 ? Can't remember which one)... I'm thinking of doing that at this point as I need to get some work done.

I was able to reproduce the issue. The field update code was not releasing the field-value, so it was marked as being in an update operation (field-values being updated cannot be updated by another process, to avoid recursion)
 
The latest build fixes this issue
