Are they console errors like this:
$:/core/modules/editor/engines/simple.js:90 The specified value "..." does not conform to the required format, "yyyy-MM-dd".
or
$:/core/modules/editor/engines/simple.js:90 The specified value "..." does not conform to the required format. The format is "#rrggbb" where rr, gg, bb are two-digit hexadecimal numbers.
If so, itâs because the examples in the Info tiddler mostly use the same target tiddler and field or index, but a few of those examples are also using type:date
or type:color
parameters, which normally restrict the input to those specified types. As a result, when you use any of the other examples that target that same tiddler and field or index â which donât restrict the input to those types â those specialized type:date
or type:color
inputs object to the value being entered.
If the examples each used different target tiddlers or different fields/indexes, then the errors would not happen. In normal expected usage of the edit-list
macro, this overlap of targets typically wonât occur.
Similarly, when using the type:color
with an edit-list that has a list of color names, the #rrggbb
error occurs whenever you select a list item that is a color name, because the color name doesnât fit the #rrggbb
ârequired formatâ.
Nonetheless, in all cases, the inputs are still being correctly handled by the edit-list
macro, and the value is properly stored in the target tiddler field or index.
On the other hand⌠if those arenât the errors you are seeing, then yes, it is a surprise and Iâd appreciate whatever troubleshooting help you can provide.
thanks,
