Non-Required field still throws a validation error.

[RedPoint]

Version: CE 5.5
Module: Custom
Issue: I have defined a series of date fields in the vardefs, and editviewdefs that are not required, but when the user attempts to create a new record, or modify an old one all date fields in this module throw an error "Invalid Value for: [label]"

Sample Vardefs:

 'date_artwork_deadline' => array (
    'name' => 'date_artwork_deadline',
    'vname' => 'LBL_DATE_ARTWORK',
    'type' => 'date',
    'required'=>false,
    'comment'=>'Custom date field.',
  ), 
  

Sample EditviewDefs:

 array('name'=>'date_artwork_deadline'), 
  

The database permits null, but I've also attempted to fill the field with a default value.
I have tried adding required => false to the edit view defs.

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

This person appears to have the same issue, but there is no solution:

Are you able to reproduce this same issue in a fresh install, with demo data, same version you faced this issue?

I haven't tested that but I'd end up introducing the same custom code into the system anyway so if it's my programming that's caused the problem I would need to debug this issue anyway.

I have used the same sort of fields (same vardefs, same logic hooks) in other custom modules and not encountered an error like this.

This is still a major issue with my application. Is there anyone out there who can provide further guidance?
