Date Picker not saving data

[lars-lindstrom]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

14.1.0

Bug summary

I have created a document type to represent a person. The document type inherits a composition "Person composition" which includes an invariant "birthdate" property of type "Date Picker".

The document type and composition was created using version 14.0.0, but since upgrading to version 14.1.0 both new and updated values are no longer saved. Infact any value is deleted when updating any value of other properties of the document type.

Specifics

Birthdate "Født" shows 01 jan. 0001 and in the backoffice "dd-mm-yyyy" is shown when refreshing data.

Steps to reproduce

Expected result / actual result

I expected the updated date to be saved.

Hi there @lars-lindstrom!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

After investigating the issue further, it seems the property value is not saved in the DB table "umbracoPropertyData". All other properties are updated and stored

This sounds serious. Thanks for testing, @lars-lindstrom. We'll make sure to investigate this.

Looking into this, I can reproduce the behavior if the format of the Date Picker does not match that which the server expects. For example, if configured as a date-only picker with YYYY-mm-dd, then the server cannot convert the value because the time string is missing. Conversely, if configured as a time-only picker with HH:mm:ss, then the server lacks the date part.

The only thing that works right now is the full string YYYY-mm-dd HH:mm:ss.

A fix has been started and we'll see how soon we can get it out.

Great work @iOvergaard !!

I have temporarily changed my site to use the Date with Time picker and it works as expected.
A thought, I recall a similar issue occured in v13.x (I cannot recall the actual version). Maybe some legacy code was not applied to v14.

Thanks, @lars-lindstrom!

Here is the plan: We are going to release a patch as soon as possible: 14.1.1. It will contain this fix as well as a few others we are looking into. I suspect we can get it out this week.
