I have a perspective table that is being fed by a database, one of the columns is a datetime. I'm using a datetime picker view to dislay the date in the table with the idea that I want it to be editable.

The table works fine when displaying the date in the picker view but I am unable to have the datetime picker update the database upon being edited. I have other columns editable that work fine but it seems that the edit in the date picker doesn't make it back to the table as I don't see the onEdit Event.

I have the param as bi-directional on the view and the column is editable. Has anyone else got the datetime picker working bi-directional on a perspective table?

Thanks!
