Description James B. Byrne 2015-01-04 22:44:16 UTC
Setting the format for a field type TIMESTAMP to "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" or a field type DATE to "YYYY-MM-DD" saves without error but reset to "01/01/00 00:00" and "01/01/00" respectively when reopened for editing.  Any description entered for these field likewise disappears.

LOBASE: missing descriptions after copy

I cannot reproduce the formatting change errors on my CentOS-6.6 Linux host.  However the attached database shows the effects of copy and paste between table design views wherein the descriptions disappear and a default value is automatically created for TIMESTAMP fields.

I did notice that the Linux host that I am working on has a custom en_CA locale whereas the OSX-10.9.5 has a locale of en_US (I believe, this I must check).  I am using the GB localised version of LO-4.3.5.2 on both hosts.

This is related to bug 88032.
