For HashRef to work properly I need a method to unset the values of  
each field.
I tried that with:

map { eval { $_->default(undef)  } } (grep { $_->is_field } @{$form- 
 >get_all_elements});

which works fine, but fails on a Date element with:

Invalid date format:  at lib/HTML/FormFu/Element/Date.pm line 150

Is this a Date (DateTime) bug because you cannot set it to undef or  
should I try another
way to set these fields to undef.
