FYI, I think there's a little bug in the datetime vs $date implementation.

Here's a section of my config file implementing a "Last Edit" field:

Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit

I expected that "Preset Last Edit =$date" would set Last Edit to the current date when I create a new entry. In fact that leaves the field empty, or at least not in datetime format.

I found that using this instead works:
Preset Last Edit =$entry time

which seems contradictory since
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
works fine.


Do you have an old version of elog? Using the current version with a configuration file:
Attributes = Author, Type, Last Edit
Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit

I get the correct behavior:



Yes, I'm using 2.7.3 - I'll try upgrading, sorry. I'll reply with the outcome.
