--- Comment #27 from Benjamin Daeuber <bdaeuber at cityoffargo.com> ---
A few things:

1. Applying this patch on master and deleting the accessioned date now fills
todays date, even if I have don't have that field set to mandatory. Can anyone
confirm that?

2. Assuming this is the case, this makes batch modification even more fraught
because batch modifying an item with a date and another item without a date
will cause one to end up with todays date. There's really no winning for the
end user there: either change all items to the same date, or change any item
without a date to todays date.

3. I think the hint wording is confusing on batchmod.pl since it implies that
leaving that field blank will set all batch modified items to todays date.

I still think leaving batchmod.pl out of this entirely is best.
