I have several datepicker fields in the registration form. When a user skips the field, it is automatically save as 0000-00-00 in the table. Is there a way to save it as null when the field is empty?

No, empty date fields will always store as 0000-00-00 and empty datetime fields will store as 0000-00-00 00:00:00. Why do you need it saved as null? We actually do not store null for any fieldtype except on initial user creation. Supporting null store is planned in a much later release of CB as we have to modify how we handle storing field values.

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick response! I found a work-around for my situation...I was loading the data from the table into a chronoform, and the datepicker in CF was getting a nan error. I just added code within the CF to convert the field to an empty string within the form.
