Question

Error if changing default poll: "Save failed with the following error: Incorrect date value: 'NOW' for column `joomla`.`jos_sexy_polls`.`date_start` at row 1"

Observed with Joomla 4.4., plugin v4.2.0
Does not occur in Joomla 3.10

If opening the default poll after a new installation, changing the name of a poll will result in an error:
"Save failed with the following error: Incorrect date value: 'NOW' for column joomla.jos_sexy_polls.date_start at row 1"

The error mainly occurs in the default example poll. As a short term workaround, the "Start Date" of the default example poll can be changed to another date. Afterwards, it should be possible to save the poll (with other name, question, ... etc.).
