How do I bind a field to a date type without requiring it?

Hi,

I am trying to create a field that uses the date picker control that is not a required field. Here's how I did that:

<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('my-instance')">
    <xforms:bind nodeset="dateRequested" type="xs:date" required="false()"/>
</xforms:bind>

However the field still seems to be required. If I leave it blank the form will not submit and I see this message in the log: xforms:submission: instance to submit does not satisfy valid and/or required model item properties. How do I do this correctly?

Thanks,
Jenny Walsh

Xs:date is a required type use xforms:date instead
