[FLOW3-general] 2 little Fluid questions

["Christian Müller (FLOW3 Team)"]

Hi,

about the select field, you don't say what kind of property you have in 
this select field but I just saw that indeed if the property mapper 
returns NULL (eg. for an empty string if you select from objects) it 
will not set that property. Maybe that is something to be changed or 
made configurable.

As for the \DateTime property that is correct there is no way in the 
core packages, you need a special viewhelper for that. In the 
TYPO3.Conference package you can find a DateTimeViewHelper that you 
could adapt to your needs.

Cheers,
Christian

When i'm sending the form to updateAction to update my object the old value stays inside the database but i'd ilke to have a null to mainly unset this attribute.

I keep getting an Error like it's an object but not a string and so on. I tried some stuff with {category.startDate ->  f:format.date(format:’d.m.Y’)} but i cant get ir working. I'd like to have on edit.html a value like d.m.Y inside the textfield. How can i do this?
