Date/Time picker INPUT formatting, not read only
Hi everyone,
I am implementing a requirement that asks to change formatting on our date picker. Old formatting was default of DD/MM/YYYY. New formatting is DD-MON-YYYY. I have changed the read only format on presentation tab. This works great when selecting a date from the date picker. If I select Nov 11, 2018 it will display as 11-Nov-2018 in the text box. However when manually entering a date into the text box (11-Nov-2018) I am getting an error that this is not a date format. I have tried creating a new control to implement this format and have yielded the same results as well. However if i manually enter the date as 11/11/2018 then when I tab out of the box, it will automatically change to the correct formatting (11-Nov-2018). How can I allow for manual input of the desired formatting to be accepted?
Thanks,
Angel

Hi,
Did you try to check the same behavior in UI Gallery? If you can let us know the PRPC version we can check it and let you know.

Hi Rachit,
It is pega version 7.2.1. I tried the UI gallery and behavior is the same although I am unable to modify any configuration within the UI gallery to specifically state I want a certain format. I have included screen shot for reference.

Thank you for the information. I will reproduce the same in 7.2.1 and will let you know. However, in UI Galler there will be an option "View Design time configuration". You can open that section, do a private edit and check.

Hi,
Have you do the private edit on this section pxDateControls2? Because I have tried the same thing and working as expected.
Thanks.

We have the same problem. Our custom format is yyyy-MM-dd.
Everything displays correctly in that format if the user selects a date from the calendar picker, but the control does not allow a user to TYPE IN a date in that format and we get that validation error when we click out of the field that says "2019-07-10 is not a valid date value", though clearly it should be.
We are currently in 7.3.1.

Hi ,
Open the cell properties of date time and open the presentation tab.Change the Read Only Format of Type from date/time to text and check your changes.It is working fine for me.

Hi bogap...
That doesn't work for me, it still throws validation error when you click out of the field or submit the form.
And I don't really understand how that could display the correct format if picked from the calendar control either.
