Property value returned as empty string

[Jesdisciple]

First off, I did search for this but the results I saw were mostly irrelevant.  The closest match was Assignment & Display of value doesn't work which received no replies.

I was attempting the exact same thing (property inheritance), but now I just want to display the inherited property.  As this doesn't work, I think my problem is different.  Demonstration URL.  On that page, "January 1" should appear between the red exclamation marks.  (Yes, I know that date's completely false.)  When the page is viewed as normal, the property name and value appear in the factbox.

Note that I've tried this on different pages, purged pages, and resaved pages trying to find a solution.

Help, please!

Hi,

A value like "January 1" is not valid for dates - there has to be year attached; that could be causing the issue.

Thanks for the reply, Yaron.

I know MW won't take an incomplete date; the pieces are coming from different sources.  The calendar date (of type text for now) represents an annual event and the year is specific to the page (politician, in this case).  This system works fine; it's just this page's property that's acting up.

Is there any better (or just other) place to ask this?

Thanks again,

Okay, I see the real issue: your call should look like "{{#show:Governor of Texas|? Inauguration}}", not "{{#show:Governor of Texas|Inauguration}}".

And no, there's no better place to ask such a question.
