HI,

code in sightly <h1>${properties.doe}</h1>

Sandhya.

    Hi sandhya,

    For the value storage datetime will work as we discussed. Seems like format in sightly is not working in 6.2. So we need to write a formatter like below for your component.

    package apps.project.components.author.componentname;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Calendar;
    import com.adobe.cq.sightly.WCMUsePojo;
    public class DateFormatter extends WCMUsePojo {
        private String formattedDate;
        @Override
        public void activate() {
        Calendar date  = get("date", Calendar.class);
        String format =  get("format",String.class);
        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
        formattedDate = formatter.format(date.getTime());
        }    
        public String getFormattedDate() {
            return formattedDate;
        }
    }

    <sly data-sly-use.date="${'DateFormatter' @ date=properties.doe,format='dd/MM/yyyy'}">
        ${date.formattedDate}
    </sly>

    Hi Sandhya,

    Can you check the same thing in firefox browser, if the value is getting retained or not.

    If the issue still exists you can use type as datetime to fix it temporarily.

    We also faced this issue in chrome due to some browser restrictions.

    Coming to display part:

    As this is a date picker. It is stored as Date object, so you need to read the values as below.

    Date: ${'dd-MM-yyyy' @ format=properties.doe]} 
    (or)
    Date: ${'dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm' @ format=properties.doe, timezone='GMT+05:30'}

    Hi Susheel,

    I have tried changing the type="date" to "datetime",Value is retaining in dialog But still it is not displaying on page even after giving

    ${'MMM-dd-yyyy' @ format=properties.doe,type='datetime'}

    It just displaying  "MMM-dd-yyyy" on page.

    Sandhya.

    You are sharing the component node screenshot.

    I am asking about the /content where the component is created.

    After updating to datetime, did you save the datetime value from dialog.

    If yes what do you see exactly on your page, can you add screenshot.

    Which version of AEM are you using. I tested this on AEM 6.3

    HI,

    Yes,DOE value is storing under content node.

    On page :: trying to get value from  ${'YYYY-MM-DD' @ format=properties.doe,type='datetime'}

      \

    After updating to datetime, did you save the datetime value from dialog. -- Saving in dialog means value node?
