 * Hi!
 * I’ve created a Date component assigned to a CPT and unthick the required check.
 * The thing is that the field is always populated with the actual date even if 
   I don’t want to pupulate the field. In the “Default value” I’ve tried to clear
   a date with no luck.
 * ¿how can I have a Date field that is empty until I inform a value?
 * Many thanks!
