default argument from content (a date value) does not work. view does not maintain configuration on export [#843464]

I am experiencing some strange things happening with calendar and views modules. let me explain the scenario .

-select the calender views option and try to configure the date argument form a date field defined with cck.

-in the configuration for this field i make the current date the default value but this does not return any value however the query seems to return values when run in the database.

-When i export and import this views in another installation all argument related configuration is lost.

Has anyone experienced a similar ? Any ideas what the problem might be ?

Argument from content date works correctly for me, but otherwise I have same issue using Views/Calendar with Features module.

I am using Features to automatically do sync features between multiple Drupal instances. When I enable a Feature containing a Calendar, the view is broken because the Default argument type has been reset to the default of "Fixed entry". View import or export is not working correctly with Calendars.

I have the same problem. Its a problem with Views export. @eosrei: features uses views' import/export. When you export with default argument type as 'fixed entry' you create the code below

/* Argument: Date: Date (node) */
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['id'] = 'date_argument';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['table'] = 'node';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['field'] = 'date_argument';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['default_action'] = 'default';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['style_plugin'] = 'default_summary';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['default_argument_type'] = 'fixed';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['date_fields'] = array(
'node_data_field_date.field_date_value' => 'node_data_field_date.field_date_value',
);

When you have default argument type as 'Current date' you create the code below. Notice there is no default_argument_type
/* Argument: Date: Date (node) */
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['id'] = 'date_argument';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['table'] = 'node';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['field'] = 'date_argument';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['default_action'] = 'default';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['style_plugin'] = 'default_summary';
$handler->display->display_options['arguments']['date_argument']['date_fields'] = array(
'node_data_field_date.field_date_value' => 'node_data_field_date.field_date_value',
);
