Problem with custom DATE-fields when converting a lead

[Selageth]

Good day,

I have tried finding a solution via the search function, but without success so far.
I'm using SugarCRM CE 5.0 and have added a custom "Date"-field to both the Leads and the Opportunities modules. When converting a lead to a new opportunity, the field shows up just fine, including the date picker. However regardless of what date I actually enter, the resulting date in the new opportunity always shows "01.01.2000".

I already tried to backtrack the actual SQL query and check it for consistency, but I hardly know where to look for a "Debug" flag for this matter - the actual code looks fine to me and it works with all the other custom fields except this date-field.


Has anyone ever encountered this before or maybe a solution at hand?

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry for the bump but has no one experienced something similar? Is this truly a genuine error?

As far I understand it is a know bug on Sugar, I don´t know if it was fixed in newer version.
A good workaround would be manage the value of custom date fields through logic_hook before_save on Opportunities.
Sugar is trying to format an already formatted field and it returns a wrong date.
Whenever Sugar try to save this wrong date value on database it generates a default date value, as you are facing.

Kind regards
