Re: QF and null in date elements

Hi Thanks for your advise. This would be a anwser to this problem, but not satisfying in every case. The user should have the opportunity to change from null to e real date if he want this..... I only see the way to make a own date element with new entries in every pop up with null values. But whats the simplest way to do this.?
