  • I've noticed when only the year is indexed for a comic book, mostly on annuals and specials, that if you go to edit information for that book, there's a glitch that automatically changes the date to December of the previous year. For example, Star Wars Annual #1 was released in 1979, but if you try to add a contributor's name or character appearance or anything else and not touch the cover date, when you save and look at the update, it'll now have a cover date of Dec. 1978 showing. Any idea if this happens to anyone else, and if it does, can it be fixed? Thanks.

  • this has always happened since i can remember. just have to remember to check the date before saving. it also happens if you choose something like Spring 1943...it will default to Spring December 1942...so youd need to manually change it back

  • Can there be a new month option created named unknown or no month or something similar to select that might stop this glitch from happening? Or maybe a blank option?
