What happened?

The date on the view is in the format:

eg. ($client->getClient_birthdate())->format(....users...date...format....choice...eg. 'Y-m-d');

ie. DateTimeImmutable date with the format command.

Version

ORM 2.0.0
PHP 8.1.9

The date was presented as -0001-11-30 as a string

I can avoid this issue completely if I simply present the current date on the client form. In this way the user will have to edit the current date to their birthdate. This ensures that an official date is entered in the column. Or I can do something like this in the view:

eg.

(($client->getClient_birthdate())->format($datehelper->style())) === '-0001-11-30' ? 'Please fill in your birthdate'
:
(($client->getClient_birthdate())->format($datehelper->style()))
