Is there any way to enter a blank date in an index filed that is defined as DATE? It appears that the "DATE" format always checks for a valid date and the load fails if the date is not formatted correctly.
Thanks,

This is a *bad* idea. Without a date field, you may never find a document ever again.
You can enter a default date value, or enter the current date by using the 't' parameter as the default date.
Otherwise, it I think you'll need to have a conversation with whomever is sending you bad data.
Good luck!

Thanks Justin.
We will be doing the default of 12/31/2058.
By the way this is not a segment date field, just a date field being used as a search field.
Just remember that the old format date field had limitations on the range of dates. If you're not on v9, this may give you trouble.
I tested loading12/31/2058 in the index field and it was the latest date that I could use that worked.
Thanks,
