That's actually the correct behavior as it's currently written for the Menu.item. For the Menu.group, you can provide your own template for each menu item that's rendered: I could see adding an "always" attribute to the Menu.item snippet such that when it's defined the Menu item is a

Ah, sorry, I misread. The parse should be working fine, then. The MappdeDateTime really should be saving the full Date instance that's passed to it, so please let me know if the Date that you're setting as the value is losing the time info. Also, what DB engine are you running against? Derek On M
