Please Help,  
I have added a date and time picker component. I reference a date column in my data, but after i select a date in the app, the date automatically clears after a few seconds, by itself. This only happens with a user specific date column.

Am i doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Hello,  
Yes I already had this problem and I made a post on the subject but without response !!!

> Hello, It seems to me that the dates and User-Specific does not work (I think I saw on the forum that this is an old problem) I am working on an event management application. I would like each user (Public with email or allowed email list) to be able to see the list of events from a date. it works, but only a few seconds !!! The principle works if the “SelectDate” field is not in User-Specific

@Matt_Friesen & @Manu.n This seems to be a non-issue as of my last attempt (this afternoon). I’ll be curious to know what your experience is.

Hello @Rasha  
For the moment, I have ruled out using a date with User-Specific pending a correction.  
I am not surprised by your post on Event Picker.  
Managing dates is not easy, but the Glide team seems to be making progress, so hopefully a fix soon.

But maybe you can give the new Glide tables a test. Maybe the internal date management is different.

There is still no way to clear the date field if using a date picker. This would be good to add.
