I have a document type called "FAQ Item", however I have an issue in
that the "Remove At" date keeps getting set to the current date and
time. If I go into an item and clear the date, then click "Save and
Publish", then navigate back to the item, the date has been set to the
current date and time again. This happens on existing FAQ items and
newly created FAQ items.
Has anyone every experienced a problem like this before?
There are no foreign DLL's or custom code running from what I can see. Sorry the version of Umbraco is 4.7.1 No other nodes or document types on the website seem to be exhibiting the same issue.
I have just tried renaming the DocType and the problem doesn't occur, then I put it back to it's original name and the issue occurs again. I don't really want to have to change this, republish all the nodes and change the search and listing functionality however if I really don't have to. Can you think of any reasons or things I can check that might be causing this issue with this particular DocType?
I agree with Rich, double check your /bin folder and verify every DLL's purpose, perhaps against a test install of 4.7.1 - that will allow you to see if any packages / custom DLLs might be responsible. The only way I can think of that happening is via DLL-based code hooking in to the Publish event.
Failing that check the CS files in the App_Code folder for the DocType alias.

Hi Graham,
Very odd problem.
Do you have any foreign DLL's / custom code that is running on Publish?
It might help to let us know which version of Umbraco you are using.

Hi Graham,
That's definately odd.
If you rename the DocType does the problem still occur?

Hi Graham,
All i can think is that there is some custom code / package / gremlin that is looking for that particular DocType (but you said there isn't).
Apart from that, really no idea, would be one of the strangest bugs I've heard of.

Good luck!
