ClearValue for date field

[ejfdejesus]

xrmApp.Entity.ClearValue(datefield) is not clearing the date time field. Is there anyone experiencing this issue? Thanks.

I fix already the date & times. I guest I forgot the ClearValue methods I will check that.

By the way this was working before. Then from 20 January this specific step is always failing. :)

Can you please put your whole test hier. I did see any different in ClearValue before & after the 20 January. I will tests your code with both code versions. I think, the problem ist that this method is not done in particular for DateTime Controls, it is generic for text, numbers fields, etc & the time part of the field is a second "input", that seems not be included in this logic.

xrmApp.Entity.SetValue(datetimefield, DateTime.ParseExact("29/09/2019", "dd/MM/yyyy", null), "dd/MM/yyyy");
xrmApp.Entity.ClearValue(datetimefield);

Hi @ejfdejesus,

the PR #749 should solve this Issue. I describe what I think what the problem was. Now you need to clear the field by passing a DateTimeControl to the ClearValue method, exactly like for previously for GetValue.

See the samples UCITestCreateActivity_ClearDateTimes & UCITestCreateOpportunity_SetHeaderDate

Looks good. I also noticed that in the version before this PR, when you perform a save operation right after setting the datetime field. it isn't saved properly. In example when filling an appointment's end time with '10-10-2020' and 15:00' and pressing save right after the operation. It will save it was '10-10-2020' and '8:00' (default time).

As you performed some changes in the SetValue method, I'm not sure if the issue still remains but it may be worthwhile to check, My simple workaround is to send a 'Keys.Tab' right after setting the field. It has to do with focus.

Hi @mVermaat,

the workaround by to send a 'Keys.Tab' should not required any more, I made a ClearFocus at the end. That should be enough.

Thanks & br

I tested against the latest version of the develop branch and it works perfectly. Setting, updating and clearing works great. Thanks @AngelRodriguez8008!
