    Why is 'Invalid Date Format' firing?

    I'm customizing the Field Service Work Order screens to work for my business. Regarding Work Orders, I don't require that Date Start/End have a value. So I'm killing off all the actions around these field validations.

    For some reason, there's still some page load action on the FieldService AddEditWorkOrder screen that is firing 2 messages about invalid date formats.

    I removed a lot of Start/End date actions on page load for this screen. I also removed the OnChange actions on each field. The error still shows up.

    Anyone know another rock I need to look under for this page to find (and remove) these annoying final actions?

    Thanks

    Blake-

    Work Orders are based off the Activity table and DueDateStart is a required field and that may be why you are getting errors.

    One suggestion is to give that field a default date and just hide the field on the screen.

    Right. I didn't mention I've already changed the table by removing the Required flag for these fields in addition to removing the other validation actions around these dates.

    Although it's not clear at this time how we plan to use the WO calendar, I'd rather one didn't show up on there just yet. Once a WO has a start or end date, it will show up on the calendar, so I guess putting a weird (1/1/1980) date could work right now just to get around the annoying pop up.

    Thanks

    Can you send me a screenshot of the error message you are getting?
