Public bug reported: When utilizing an Aiki Edit form, you may have certain fields that you would like to be automatically populated with some information.
A key function in Aiki Add forms is the ability to use 'datetime' and to have the datetime of the insert automatically recorded when the user adds a new record. If, however, you want to record, say, the 'last_edit', ideally, you'd be able to use that same 'datetime' function to update or record a new datetime, like so: last_edit|SystemGOD:Date of Last Edit:datetime If the above is included in an Aiki Add form, it works as expected. If, however, you create an Aiki Edit form & use the same code, the last_edit fails to write the current datetime & instead zeros out the date. Functions like "insertedby_userid" seem to work fine, so it may just be an issue with the datetime function, specifically. ** Affects: aikiframework Importance: High Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Aiki Framework Admins, which is subscribed to aikiframework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/949487 Title: Aiki Form functions not working on edit forms Status in Aiki Framework: New Bug description: When utilizing an Aiki Edit form, you may have certain fields that you would like to be automatically populated with some information.
