Validating date in an indexed item

[WC2005]

Hi,
I'm trying to do date validate on a list of indexed items.

e.g.

item ...... date
-----------------
1 ...... <input box>
2 ...... <input box>
...

The entry in my validation.xml is:

<field property="localizedDueDate" depends="date" indexedListProperty="actions">
<arg0 key="validate.label.date" />
<arg1 key="validate.label.date" />

<var>
<var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>
<var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>
</var>
<arg2 key="validate.label.date" />
</field>

The current behaviour is:

item ....date
-----------------
1 ...... 01/01/2005
2 ...... <empty>
Validation PASSES

item ....date
-----------------
1 ...... 01/01/2005
2 ...... invalid date formal
Validation FAILS

item ....date
-----------------
1 ...... <empty>
2 ...... 01/01/2005
Validation PASSES

item ....date
-----------------
1 ...... <empty>
2 ...... invalid date formal
Validation PASSES ===> Undesirable!!!!



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

depends="date"

Somewhere there you need depends="required, date"

I think that's how it goes, but if what I'm reading is, if they leave the date area blank it should pitch an error.

Somewhere you need to add the required flag.
