field.Update();

FieldChar fieldStart = field.Start;

Assert.That(fieldStart.FieldType, Is.EqualTo(FieldType.FieldDate));
Assert.That(fieldStart.IsDirty, Is.EqualTo(false));
Assert.That(fieldStart.IsLocked, Is.EqualTo(false));

// Retrieve the facade object which represents the field in the document.
field = (FieldDate)fieldStart.GetField();

Assert.That(field.IsLocked, Is.EqualTo(false));
Assert.That(field.GetFieldCode(), Is.EqualTo(" DATE  \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\""));
