How do you prevent the dateTimePicker from disappearing

ashley colburn:
How do you prevent the dateTimePicker from disappearing if there is not a date present? Typically when the field is blanked out from filmmaker .


Owen Reese:
Use null if there is no value


ashley colburn:
thanks. is that on the filemaker side or a formula on the BF side?


Owen Reese:
Personally, I create a calculation field in any tables that BF accesses. This calc has all the data fields I need in JSON in whatever format is needed for BF. This keeps FM and BF fairly separate.

But you could certainly do it with a script, either in FM or on BF.
