For reasons that I cannot determine, one must have a valid date in the box before it can be edited. Clearing the 'unknown' isn't enough.

In the date picker the year defaults to 101.
This was intentional. The minimum date acceptable is 1 Jan 101, and that is what the column was set to when first edited.

I have changed the editor used when double-clicking on a user-defined date field to provide 'today' as the initial date. The date can be edited directly or with the calendar widget. I have not changed the editors used in the edit-metadata dialogs, because doing would prevent leaving the date undefined.

Editing dates directly remains strange. I haven't been able to make it work consistently and intuitively. At least the calendar widget works.
