[Bug]: Import Process Stops Due to Missing Date in Import File

[stephangmms]

Possible connected to BUG 317

Expected behavior

The system should continue the import process and overwrite the target field for those records with an empty date field.

Actual behavior

The import process stops completely when encountering a record with an empty date field.

Steps to reproduce

In the current system, an issue has been detected where the Data Importer process halts if a date is missing in the import file, despite the configuration to overwrite the target field in case of an empty date field. It seems that the system lacks proper handling when it cannot parse a date.

1. Create an import file with multiple records, in which one or more records have an empty date field.
2. Configure a Data Importer to overwrite the target field when the date field is empty.
3. Start the import process.

Impact:

The issue significantly hinders the import process, making it impossible to import all data records when one or more records have an empty date field. This could potentially lead to loss of data and inefficiency in operations.

Please look into this issue and provide a fix or workaround as soon as possible.
