Date fields: current date is autofilled on editing a record

[Guido1982]

Something is weird here, since I can edit these two fields (both custom fields) in createview (but not in editview) while both are set to displaytype 4

---

I feel like the workflow is launching on a false positive, checking the value of the custom field against the sum_nettotal field when the sum_nettotal field is still 0. Since the custom field that aggregates the invoices starts out at zero as well, the date is filled. When I disable the workflow task, the date field stays empty

---

So basically, to sum up all the madness:

• I created two custom fields on salesorders: one aggregates all the invoice net totals, the other is a date field
• I created a workflow that checks the aggregated field (that holds the sum of all the invoices) against the sum_nettotal field of the salesorder. That workflow works untill the first time a condition is true:
• The condition is: the aggregated field that holds the sum of all invoice net totals should be equal of bigger than the sum_nettotal value of the salesorder, ergo: the salesorder is completely invoiced
• At that moment, the second custom field should be filled with today's date
  

The behavior now is that every new salesorder has that second field set to the creation date of the salesorder, while I would expect it to be empty.

I think I've hacked this by adding a condition: I added the condition that 'Last modified' by can not be empty. This will prevent the date field from being filled in at the first save of the salesorder. I can't really test if it does what I want it to do when the salesorder is actually completely invoiced, since I can't create invoices on a production system without the invoice no.'s increasing (and you need consecutive numbers for the tax guys). I will monitor this and see what happens.
