SetCustomField type mismatch error

[al0203]

If you have an integer or real CustomField and you try set a value in this field it returns me type mismatch error.

The description of the function says:

procedure SetCustomField(fieldTag: string; value: string);
Stores a value in the specified custom field of the current movie.

Is it not possible to use this function with other variables different from string?

Hi al0203,

You can not use SetCustomField function with an integer or real value directly. You have to convert integer or real value in string using this functions:
- IntToStr(value: integer): string;
- FloatToStr(vaue: double): string;

AMC will check the input string value and convert/format it automatically according to field type.

Which is the name of the field that store the Date Added information?
Is it a string store yyyy-mm-dd?

fieldDate
It is a string, yes, either in that format or Windows' local format: check the other if one does not work
(but it is probably that format)
