How do I clear a date field?
I have a column for read-date and once in a while I accidentally set edit focus on the field (like if I'm tabbing to a field in another column) and it automatically fills in today's date. When I go delete it the date just comes back after I exit editing the field. The only way I can get rid of it is to delete the book and then re-add it.

Ah, thanks!
Is there any reason deleting this type of field acts differently than the others? |
