(oops... hit enter too fast).
The following fails on Redmine 1.4.5 (we upgraded from 1.3.2 where this worked.)
#!/usr/bin/python
import httplib
import sys
import json
def openissue(data):
mykey = "dsds....adsadasdasdasdsadsadsadasdasdasdasda"
jsondata = json.dumps(data)
# Log into Redmine
conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection("oursite.internal.com")
headers = { "Content-Type" : "application/json",
"X-Redmine-API-Key" : mykey
}
conn.request("POST", "/redmine/issues.json", jsondata, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
data = {
"issue": {
"project_id":"testproject",
"tracker":"Bug",
"subject": "test",
"custom_fields": [ {"id":7,"value":"2013-01-01"}]
}
}
openissue(data)
In tracing the error, I am getting "is not a valid date"
The Redmine log has the following (w/minor edits to remove ip addresses and api keys)

There is a message out in the help forum where someone else has/had the same problem ( http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/32551 ).
I created a real ugly patch to fix it, I removed the regular expression test in app/models/custom_field.rb, and I also added a little bit of code to lib/redmine/custom_field_format.rb to test to see if the format type is 'date' before doing the ?empty test.
