hey annie,
I may be mistaken, but I dont believe it makes a difference if you are
running $this->cleanUpFields() on $this->data vs. $this->data[Model].
The $this->cleanUpFields() will turn all of the date inputs into a db
compliant variable. If you are using 1.2, just update to the latest
nightly, they have moved the $this->cleanUpFields() action into the
model and it is now an autmoatically called function. Hope this helps.
