Asset builder filling in default metadata date

Hi everyone,


I've got a very simple asset builder, and I've customised the bodycopy of the create form.

All the fields work fine (file upload, asset title, and about 4 text metadata fields) apart from my metadata field for 'Date taken'. It appears on the form, and has the min/max values as set in the metadata schema, but all the assets get created with the default date value, not the date value the user picks when creating the asset.



I have a vague recollection that the date format setting in the metadata schema needs to be set a certain way for this to work… or am I confusing that with something else I read?!



Any advice or suggestions very gratefully recieved.

Thanks,

Charlie.

UPDATE

Realised that actaully that metadata field wasn't updating when i set it manaually either. No idea why, but I've created another date field and that one is working, manually and on the form.



Problem sorted!
