Unable to set date in picker to null

Good morning.

I have a very simple nintex form in SP 2013 (no workflows etc) with multiple date pickers. Users are unable to delete the date if one has already been selected - the picker does initially show as blank, but when it is saved back a previous date appears. Users are however able to select a different date and save that back successfully, but can't set it blank.

 

I do have a work-around in place (setting the date to 01/01/2025 and getting excel to filter it out in the export) but would like to understand the issue and have a fix.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Can you check that the column does not have "Require that this column contains information" option set to Yes?

what exact version are you on?

classic or responsive forms?

I've tested with 2.11.5.0 and couldn't reproduce that. once I cleared form control and submitted form, the date list field got cleared as well.

 

 

how do you set that 2025 date? by a javascript?

couldn't a javascript cause a date is populated if its empty in list?
