Hey, I figured out how to change this. Go to Plugins>Editor and select WP Project Management Ultimate. The chose the plugin file wp-project-managment-ultimate/WPPM-Metaboxes.php
Search for this code:
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td><label for="_wppm_project_meta_start_date">'.
__('Start Date', WPPM_LANG).':</label></td>';
echo '<td><input type="text" class="datepicker large-text" name="_wppm_project_meta_start_date" size="10" value="'. isset($meta['_wppm_project_meta_start_date']).'" /></td>';
echo '</tr>';
And replace it with:
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td><label for="_wppm_project_meta_start_date">'. __('Start Date', WPPM_LANG).':</label></td>';
$start = (isset($meta['_wppm_project_meta_start_date']))?$meta['_wppm_project_meta_start_date']:'';
echo '<td><input type="text" class="datepicker large-text" name="_wppm_project_meta_start_date" value="' .$start.'" /></td>';
echo '</tr>';
Make sure to save the changes. I was having the exact same problem and this fixed it. Hope it helps.
