I upgraded from 2.2.8 to 3.0.3.  When I try to save or create a new Custom Date Field, I get the following error:

Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:
You must have a year selected for a custom date
There is no option to select a year.
The already existing date field does not show the popup or field to input data.

K,

I tried to replicate it on the demo, it worked fine.  I went back to my site to try to replicate it there, also went fine.  Inbetween this post and your response, i had a convo with lobo about other things, and actually backed up my DB and then reapplied a beta6 upgrade.  Things have been much better since then, so I am wondering if something went wrong with the data update first time around.

What WAS happening is that whether I created a new date field or modified an existing one, I received the error.  I also do not recall seeing the nice drop down of date format options, so I am wondering if this was the problem.  AND, I was receiving endless smarty errors so many fields were not saving correctly.  That is why I backed out and reinstalled.  No more smarty errors, and fields save as they should.

thanks,
