#364 Auto-Assign Attributes with date-types will not work

[Bernd Wehle]

Auto assign attributes works not with date-columns.
This columns ar not displayed in the dialog-window with or without selected features.
With string or numeric variables or columns i have no problems.
This is tested with any different layers and any OJ-Revisions up to 3965.

Hi Bernd

Date attributes were excluded from the list of editable attributes in this plugin.
I just added the possibility to set a date attribute value (r3974) but you must be aware that not any string can be converted to a date, and you can get unexpected results if you try to fill a date attribute with a value which cannot be parsed.

Let me know if it solves your problem as we will release 1.7 this week.

hi michael,
i have setting in options this format: "dd.MM.yyyy" and tested with different inputs:
my input------------Result
"30.03.2012" --> 30.03.2012 = OK
"29.02.2013" --> 01.03.2013 = Clever!!!
"12-06-2011" --> 12.06.2011 = OK
"03/11/2010" --> 03.11.2010 = OK
"17031955" --> 17.03.1955 = OK

what a nice tool !
I have no ideas to make it better.
Thanks.
please close this ticket.
