Sorry about making another post in short succession, but this one might be critical. The following query quietly erases the date field from the jriver instance:

http://127.0.0.1:52199/MCWS/v1/File/SetInfo?File=511&FileType=Key&Field=Date&Value=%2242380%22

Probably because the date is needlessly escaped with %22. I feel like this call should have no effect on the database or at least throw an error.

That has a value of "42380" going into the set.  Setting the date to that is non-sense, so it empties.

Try "8/6/2020" or something that's an actual date.

Its an unformatted timestamp. Sending it without the quotes works fine.

Either way, "Doesn't parse, delete" seems dangerous to me? Shouldn't this result in a cancelled operation?

I don't depend on this change by the way, my code works fine thanks to your input. Just seemed dangerous to me.

Specifically, this url works for me:
http://127.0.0.1:52199/MCWS/v1/File/SetInfo?File=511&FileType=Key&Field=Date&Value=42400

Sorry, I only finally got your intention. Yes, of course the string content is nonsense. But deleting the value still seems dangerous to me

Alright, I'll make the next build of v26 have this change:
Changed: Passing an invalid date to the SetInfo call will return <Response Status="Failure"/> instead of setting an empty date.

Thank you, Matt! Much appreciated, as always.
