Same thing happens sometimes when I push the save button for an already submitted row without changing anything.

The problem seems to be that:

Form.submit -> triggers -> JqueryFrom.submit -> triggers -> Questionare.js.beforeSubmit

this checks the 'visibleExpression' and if this is false, sets the value to null ( this causes the backend error). The visible expression uses the 'age' function. this 'age' function use a form value to calculate the dateOfBirth however the input for this age function is a string "1982-05-05". The age function can not handle a string ( is expects a date) and returns 'NaN'. As 'NaN' is falsy the Questionare.js.beforeSubmit function sets the value to null.

To fix this we need to figure out why the date of birth is given as string instead of the expected date.
