When I uncheck "group multiple values" when configuring a field and save the view, the checkbox is checked again, so this setting is not stored.

I'm trying to setup the calendar view (from calendar module) and Configure field Content: Data (field_evenement_date) - Start Date. Calendar module says "The date field 'Content: Data (field_evenement_date) - Start Date' used by the display 'Year view' cannot be set to 'Group multiple values'.", but I cannot change that setting. So calendar module cannot be used.

Also the setting Show ... values starting from ... ending on ... does not save any changes to this setting.

Project: Views (for Drupal 7) » Content Construction Kit (CCK)
Version: 6.x-3.0-alpha2 » 6.x-2.x-dev
Component: Miscellaneous » Views Integration

Thats done in cck.

But i guess/bet thats already fixed in dev.

It is not fixed in dev.

As per the "troubleshooting" section of http://drupal.org/project/calendar , I just downloaded the latest dev versions of calendar and date (as well as the advanced help). This is still an active issue. I still receive the following when I try to make the same change:

* The date field 'Content: Date (field_calendar_date) - From date' used by the display 'Year view' cannot be set to 'Group multiple values'.
* The date field 'Content: Date (field_calendar_date) - From date' used by the display 'Month view' cannot be set to 'Group multiple values'.
* The date field 'Content: Date (field_calendar_date) - From date' used by the display 'Day view' cannot be set to 'Group multiple values'.
* The date field 'Content: Date (field_calendar_date) - From date' used by the display 'Week view' cannot be set to 'Group multiple values'.
* The date field 'Content: Date (field_calendar_date) - From date' used by the display 'Block view' cannot be set to 'Group multiple values'.

Out of curiosity, is it wrong to use the "From" date? Should I be using "delta" instead?

I am using Drupal 6.17, Date 6.x-2.4 and Views 6.x-3.0-alpha3. I am experiencing the same issue. I don't think it's related to CCK because I deleted the Views 6.x-3.0 files and uploaded the Views 6.x-2.10 files and then I was able to uncheck the Group Multiple Values option in the View Components. After doing this, all was ok. So this leads me to believe that it's a Views issue and isn't related to CCK.

Please note, I don't make a habit of downgrading a module's files without rolling back my DB, but I couldn't find an easy way to roll back the DB from 3.o alpha to 2.10, so knowing I had a problem, I figured I couldn't make things any worse than uninstalling and re-installing the module. Sham on me for not keeping the DB backup from before I upgraded to the Views 3.0-alpha-3.

This is a cck issue. Update to the latest cck version and it will work. Views is a bit more strict with his own api. CCK didn't implemented it right in the old days.

@ Dereine,

I thought I had the latest CCK, the admin/reports/updates/list doesn't show any available update for CCK. When I look at build/modules/list, I see Ihave version 6.x-3.x-dev for the Content module (which if I'm correct is the core of CCK).

While I believe you to tell me it's a CCK issue, I don't see where there is a newer version to update to... I am fairly new to Drupal, so I am only reporting what I can determine in my noob stage. :)

Please download the dev release manually.

I have the oposite problem:
CCK 6.x-2.x-dev today
Date 6.x-2.x-dev today version
6.x-3.x-dev today version

I'm not able to save the multivalue date field checkbox.

I have one contenttype with a multi value date field.

The view contains only the title and the date field and a normal multi value field for testing purpose.

On the normal multi value field, I can save the checkbox, with the date field, it's not possible.

Okay I know this is an old issue but I am pulling my hair out!! All I want to do is create a picture gallery using jcarousel or even grid, but every time I uncheck the "group multiple values" and save, it doesn't save the setting, when I go back into it it is still checked.

Using CCK 6.x-3.x-dev (2012-Jan-12) and views 6.x-3.0+37-dev (2012-Feb-14)

Gone back and forth between old and new versions and hasn't fixed anything - except I haven't gone down from Views 3 to Views 2 - is Views 3 the problem?

Anyone else have this problem? It's driving me crazy! I have made a million image galleries in the past and it's never been a problem.

Just thought I'd say I still have this problem - although I downgraded to Views 2 and it fixed it. I'm managing to work around it but it would be great if it worked. I'm not using dates so I'm pretty sure it is a separate problem to the above fix. I guess it's a sign it's time to move to Drupal 7!
