When creating a View with Table style, using Node Title, Node Body and a CCK Date field, the Date field nullifies output from fields following it. That is, the dates are displayed correctly, but all columns to the right of the date column are empty, as displayed in the attached screenshot.

  • This is true even if the "Exclude from display" option is checked so I guess it has to do with fetching the value. (I don't know much about how Views works, though.)
  • I don't have this problem with normal node date fields, like Post Date or Post Updated. Only CCK.
  • This only goes for the Table style. I have tried Grid, HTML List and Unformatted and it works fine with those.
  • Goes for Date, Datetime and Datestamp types.

Views 2.3, Date 2.0-rc6.

As a work around, I reverted back to the beta 4 version and it seems to be working. Hopefully this will be fixed with a patch or new version soon.

It could be a Views bug, see #372227: empty columns in table design after update. Try the patch there.
