"Malformed" data flagged, cannot save data. about express-admin HOT 2 OPEN

Hi, @fedaykinofdune

The problem is the validator makes certain assumptions about the timestamp format outlined here

I'm assuming you want to edit existing records, that have a timestamp field already set.

In this case a very quick and dirty fix will be to set the timestamp column type to varchar(255), as the text fields doesn't have any other validation except for their length, and leave the control type as text.

{
    "control": {
        "text": true
    },
    "type": "varchar(255)"
}

The value of the type key is related only to the validation process.

Let me know if this doesn't work, or if your configuration requires something else.

Excellent, thanks for the explanation, I'm still familiarizing myself with
mySQL so your tool really helps out with some constant headaches. Thanks
for the workaround as well! Normally if I have to edit anything in my
pool's database, I have to change a batch of share id's or something which
can be done in one line but your tool is particularly useful for looking at
and then manually flagging "strange" records for later comparison, so the
workaround will definitely help!
