MW 1.34, PF=5.0.1 (731d226, Dec. 28th)
Prior to 5.0 #autoedit parser function could update templates without issue. Since PF 5.0 (and including 5.0.1) the autoedit parser function is dropping dates from the template when used.
Example:
{{#autoedit:form=MyForm|query string=MyTemplate[MyProp1]=ABC| ... }}
turns:
{{MyTemplate|MyDate1=2020-01-05|MyProp1=XYZ}}
into:
{{MyTemplate|MyProp1=ABC}}

just fyi, I tested the latest version of PF as of Jan. 24th 12:50am and this issue is not yet resolved.
Hmm.. that is odd. I'll test it again tonight and report again. Maybe I did something wrong with the git checkout
I fetched the latest version last night and checked out master and the problem still persists. I'll provide screenshots of all the relevant observables.
Apparently my knowledge of git is not what it needs to be.
I don't know which commit actually fixed it, but I discovered that just doing:
git fetch https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PageForms.git git checkout master
wasn't enough to get my version of PF truly up to date with the the latest version.
Turns out I had to:
git fetch --all git reset --hard origin/master
in order to get the latest version in my project.
Thanks!
