AEM 6.3 - Datepicker in dialog does not prepopulate previously saved value

Avatar

Level 2

Hello Everyone,

I am using resource type 'granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/datepicker'

Following is the snippet from dialog xml file:

<multi class="full-width" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
      sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/multifield"
      fieldDescription="Click 'Add Field' for new event info"
      fieldLabel="Manual Event Info">

     <field jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./lsaManualEvents"
         acs-commons-nested="JSON_STORE"
         sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fieldset">

         <layout jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" method="absolute" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/layouts/fixedcolumns"/>

         <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

             <column jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/container">

                  <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

                           <title fieldLabel="Event Title" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./event_title"          

                                                                                sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                          <subtitle fieldLabel="Event Subtitle" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./event_subtitle"                                                                                 sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                            <building_name fieldLabel="Building" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./building_name"                                                                                 sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                            <room fieldLabel="Room" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./room"                                                                            sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>


                           <date fieldLabel="Event Date"
                                           jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./datetime_start"
                                           sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/datepicker"
                                           emptyText="MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm" required="{Boolean}false" type="datetime" displayedFormat="MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm"                                              valueFormat="MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm"/>



                            <link fieldLabel="Full URL" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./website"                                                        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                  </items>

             </column>

           </items>

      </field>

   </multi>

When I open the dialog, the previously stores date time value is not pre populated. Following is the snapshot:

When I inspect the "Event Date" field, following is the HTML snippet:

<coral-datepicker class="coral-Form-field coral-InputGroup" type="datetime" name="./datetime_start" displayformat="MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm" valueformat="MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm" headerformat="MMMM YYYY" value="" placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm" data-foundation-validation="" data-validation="" role="datepicker" aria-disabled="false" aria-invalid="false" aria-readonly="false" aria-required="false" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" aria-owns="coral-id-617"><input type="hidden" handle="hiddenInput" value="2017-11-23T13:25:00.000-05:00" name="./datetime_start">

<input is="coral-textfield" class="coral-Textfield coral-InputGroup-input" type="text" handle="input" role="textbox" placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm" aria-invalid="false">

<div class=" coral-InputGroup-button" handle="toggleButtonContainer">

</div>

<coral-popover class="coral3-Popover" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="0" closable="off" role="dialog" aria-live="assertive" handle="popover" id="coral-id-617" alignmy="right top" alignat="right bottom" collision="fit" style="display: none;"><div coral-tabcapture="top" tabindex="0"></div><div class="coral-Dialog-header coral-Popover-header" hidden="">

tested "granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/datepicker"  worked perfectly in AEM 6.3

               <date

                        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

                        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/datepicker"

                        displayedFormat="MMMM DD, YYYY hh:mm a"

                        displayTimezoneMessage="{Boolean}true"

                        fieldDescription="Date Test."

                        fieldLabel="date"

                        name="./isReadOnlyonTime"

                        renderReadOnly="{Boolean}false"

                        type="datetime"/>

Can you put this into a small component and package it up and place in Google Drive - for the community to help - a package would be best.

Thanks mjb54261515​, kautuksahni​ and smacdonald2008​ for your inputs. If you refer to my initial post, I am using the datepicker inside a multifield and that is when the datepicker does not populate the previous saved value. Could you please give your advice in this scenario?

Best Regards,

It should work the same way. If not - its a bug - in which case - the recommend way to proceed is to log a ticket so this can be fixed.

After investigating further, I got it working as follows:

<multi class="full-width" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

    sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"

    fieldDescription="Click 'Add Field' for new event info" composite="{Boolean}true"

    fieldLabel="Manual Event Info">

        <field jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./lsaManualEvents"

        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container">

            <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

                <column jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/container">

                    <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">

                        <title fieldLabel="Event Title" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./event_title"                  sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                        <subtitle fieldLabel="Event Subtitle" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./event_subtitle" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                        <building_name fieldLabel="Building" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./building_name" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                        <room fieldLabel="Room" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./room" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                        <date fieldLabel="Event Date"

                            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./datetime_start"

                            sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/datepicker" type="datetime" displayedFormat="YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm" required="{Boolean}true" valueFormat="YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss.000Z"/>

                        <link fieldLabel="Full URL" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" name="./website"                     sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield"/>

                    </items>

                </column>

Hi there, I also faced this similar issue.
Then I used 

sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/datepicker"

instead of 

sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/datepicker"

 And this is able to prepopulate the previous value.
