Date Added bug
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2019 8:10 pm
Beta 112 of Bookpedia - noticed this issue today - when scanning books in via barcode or entering them manually [via the multi add ++ button], the "Date Added" field is populated with the exact, correct time/date stamp.
However, when one edits anything in the record, later on, by double clicking the item in the right window pane and making any change [in my case, condition notes, price, etc], the Date Added field resets the clock to midnight of the date it was added to the system.
Eg: I added some books at 8:02:26pm though 8:03:44pm and after editing them [or simply opening up the record and then clicking okay], the time became 12:00:00 - the date remained Feb 8, 2019
I figured you'd like to know this since I know you went through a lot of hassle recently with the time/date fields. This behavior didn't used to exist, but I am unsure when this changed. Looking at my Date Added fields, Dec 14, 2018 it was behaving correctly, but on Dec 15th, it was not. I am unsure what version of Bookpedia I was running on Dec 14/15th.
