Given the following situation:

  • A date field is added to a taxonomy vocabulary (tested: unixtime). The date field is required and has a relative default value
  • Taxonomy terms have been added to the vocabulary using a term reference field

The date field does not save any data to database.

Symptoms:
When viewing a taxonomy term, the date field does not show up at all.

Expected behaviour:
