I created a content type named Event and it has a date field (just date no time). I created a view to display four upcoming events. So essentially all it is a block with two fields (title and date) and filters: type: event, is published and date_field >= now. This worked great until I updated to Date 6.x-2.1 it no longer worked so I went through and flushed the view, and made sure everything else was updated (calendar and views). Then I figured I might need to just recreate the filter. So I deleted the date filter and when I tried to create it again I no longer get the option to put in a default value. I get the first two dialogs where I can select the field to use (along with other options) and the second dialog where I select "greater than or equal to" but I never get the field where I can put in the default value, it just adds the filter without it, "Date: Date (node) Content: Event Date (field_datetime) - From date >= " with nothing after = . I tried updating to the most recent dev version (6.x-2.x) but that didn't seem to help. I've seen other places where people change the "now" to "today" or something like that but I can't get the field. Sorry if it's something stupid like I need a certain argument or something but I just can't figure it out.

Click on the name of the filter to edit the value. There are other settings you can change if you click on the gear icon to the right of the filter. This is the same way all Views filters work.

I'm having the same problem. I'm not sure when it started. I would attach a screenshot but there seems to be a problem there too somehow (maybe I'm just having a bad day).

This is exactly the same problem I am experiencing.

No way of setting the filter date.

Do you have an active jquerry script in this page, like Tipsy or anything else? Just disable it. It can cause conflict with Date filter setting form.

Experiencing this issue right now.

Are you using a theme that tweak form item descriptions? Cleanr maybe?

The problem is caused by Date displaying the value dialog inside a <div> with a "description" class, which normally is used on form items descriptions. Since the admin theme I'm using (Cleanr) hides form description (to display them on mouse hovering), the filter value dialog is invisible.

We're sorry but the D6 release of Date module is no longer being supported. You are encouraged to update to Drupal 7 or 8, or direct questions to Drupal Answers.
