Switch to Language field type errors

[adrian]

Hi guys - well I am still a gumby at all things multi-language so maybe this is my fault, but I am working on the multi-language support for Migrator and came across this.

After installing all the language related modules, I tried to change the field type of a textarea field to TextareaLanguage and got these errors:

 Session: Field type change failed. Database reports: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'data1021' doesn't have a default value
 Session: Error changing fieldtype for 'summary', reverted back to 'FieldtypeTextareaLanguage'

Then I cound't edit the field at all due to these errors:

TemplateFile: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'field_summary.data1021' in 'field list'

I simply added the data1021 field to the DB table and everything looks to be working fine, but I think this is a bug.

Anyone?
