Dates are stored in the [[SmartSimple]] database in the following format:
'''yyyy-mm-dd'''
Accordingly when updating date fields with Pandora the submitted data must be formatted identically.
Accordingly when updating date fields (both standard fields and custom fields) using Pandora the format of the value sent must be '''yyyy-mm-dd'''
==Standard Fields==
The ''startdate'' and ''enddate'' standard fields [[Standard Fields]] also store time values for the ''starttime'' and ''endtime'' respectively. Thus you must include the times as well as the dates (if the times are enabled). The format should be: yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ssSimilarly with ''lastmodified'' (although there is no associated ''lastmodifiedtime'' variable).
Where The format should be:'''yyyy-mm-dd HH is the hour using the 24hr format.:mm:ss'''
ie: ''2012-01-31 17:30:00''* Where HH is the hour using the 24hr format.
 
Example:
2012-01-31 17:30:00
 
 
'''Notes:'''
* If you omit the time when updating the ''startdate'' or ''enddate'' standard fields, the stored in the ''starttime'' or ''endtime'' will be set to 00:00:00, overwriting any times that may have been stored previously.
* The '''Level 1''' Start Date and End Date fields are referred to as '''ostartdate''' and '''oenddate'''
* The Level 1 ''closedate'' standard field does '''not''' store a time so should be updated using '''yyyy-mm-dd''' only.
* The ''lastmodified'' standard field on transactions is ''trsts''
 
 
==Custom Fields==
When updating Date [[Custom Fields]] using Pandora the format of the value sent must be '''yyyy-mm-dd'''.
* Times cannot be saved with Date Custom Fields.
