Subject: empty input value doesn't set the default value
If the user submits an empty field, $result->is_valid is true, $result->has_input is also true (maybe because of other fields) but calling $result->field('startdate')->value returns undef. That might be an erroneous defined vs. true check somewhere.
This is the way that it's supposed to work. Values returned by submitting a form take precedence over defaults. Defaults are used when first displaying the form... If a field has a value then, that value will be submitted unless it's been removed.
