portfolio purchase date

[robgrant]

Just trying some paper-trading here with Medved Trader and noticed that the portfolio date defaults to 12/11/13. Not sure of the significance of that date, but shouldn't it or wouldn't it, be better to have it default to today's date?

 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Select any stock from a portfolio.

2. Click on Edit Portfolios Icon at top left of page (to the right of the blinking LED). 

3. Enter a qty, purchase price, and notice that the date has to be changed to reflect today's date.

I am not able to reproduce the issue.  When I go to Portfolio editor, the purchase date is either blank or set with whatever was there before. and if I start editing the row and tab to the date field, it is defaulting to today's date for me.  Was 12/11/13 by any chance when you entered the symbols in the portfolio in the first place?

I may have entered the symbols into these portfolios on 12/11/13, but did not enter any purchase information. I just checked another portfolio I started on 8/28/2014 and it does say 8/28/2014, however, I did enter # of shares and amount for all the symbols in that portfolio. Shouldn't the date default to the date of purchase? I just checked the old Quotetracker, and don't see a purchase date option; so can't go by that.

I've tried recreating the issue but without success. Date is either null, in which case it is shown as blank, or when you start editing it, it defaults to today's date. Have not been able to get it to default to any other date. If you have some way to do it, let me know.
