VForce Inputfields not writing blank entry

Dear all,

 

I am having a head scratching moment with VF. I have uploaded this same post a couple of times already but with no luck so far. Hoping someone can help this time around.

 

I have created a series of VF Pages. When using inputfields and entering data into a blank field all is fine. But when the field has data stored and you are trying to enter a blank entry the blank update does not write to the database. Just like it ignores the blank entry.

 

Can someone.. anyone help please?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

This applies to all inputfields in VF tha tI have used. So lets just use a date inputfield for this example. So I enter a date  and press save and the update is written to the database with no issues. All working fine so far. I go back into the VF page and then using the same date field want to erase the date that I entered with no value (blank / null). I then press save. The record saves as it should but the update is not written to the database. If I go back into the VF page the date is still there.

 

 

Please see my previous post with code and pic.

Hope this explains better

And to add, if I enter another date to replace the originally entered date that works. It is just when entering a blank value.
