Maybe a bug? I have a custom metadata field of type date/time. Although I have not entered data into the field yet, it displays a value of 1/1/2001 01:00:00. This default value (?) is empty in the list view of documents. It would be nice if the default value could be hidden in the inspector. Screenshot attached.

This has been the case for years (I’ve queried it before, as have various people in the forum over the years). The thing that makes the date field work defaults to 01.01.01.01 if no date is set.

@MsLogica is indeed correct. It’s not a string-based control; it’s a date-based control. There are no empty dates… even the singularity would have happened at a particular point in time
