In Tridion 2011 SP1 HR2, when trying to update the content of an RTF field, I get the following message back. I suspect this is an issue with the OData configuration, but I am not able to find what I've missed.

enter image description here

The input data was invalid: InitialPublicationDate must not be null., ModificationDate must not be null., InitialPublicationDate must not be null., ModificationDate must not be null., InitialPublicationDate must not be null., ModificationDate must not be null.


The OData log in debug mode shows the following, and I can see the information considered null does exist in the input string:

The publication target has the OData url as http://localhost:71/odata.svc/ The website specified there is http://localhost:70 The publication properties have an extra "A" folder, could this be what's confusing OData here?

In your paramater

<d:ModificationDate m:type="Edm.DateTime">2015-05-18T12:22:34.923Z</d:ModificationDate> 

you've indicated a type of

Edm.DateTime

but in the content you are using

Edm.DateTimeOffset

see http://www.odata.org/documentation/odata-version-2-0/overview/ for reference.

I seem to recall there was a defect with ODATA on this sometime back and I see you're using 2011-SP1
