Hi,

I'm trying to set a date field via java-script; however cannot seem to get the formatting it requires correct.

I have tried multiple different date formats e.g. 'dd/MM/yyyy' but cannot find the one it requires.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-date-and-time-format-strings

$( document ).ready(function() {

// attempt 1
$("#xxx_yearofjoiningthesociety").val("{{ mem.c2memb_fromdate | date_to_iso8601 }}").addClass("readonly");

// attempt 2
$("#xxx_yearofjoiningthesociety").val("{{ mem.c2memb_fromdate | date:'d' }}").addClass("readonly");

// attempt 3
$("#xxx_yearofjoiningthesociety").val("{{ mem.c2memb_fromdate | date:'g' }}").addClass("readonly");

// attempt 4
$("#xxx_yearofjoiningthesociety").val("{{ mem.c2memb_fromdate | date:'dd/MM/yyyy' }}").addClass("readonly");

});

@OOlashynmentioned something similar in another thread but could not see the formatting

Thanks,

You are not accessing the date control correctly to set it, and the date control is probably expecting a JavaScript date object, (your Liquid code is just outputting text or a liquid date object).

To default a date you would do something like the following (where you would replace the date text part "2021-01-01" with output from Liquid)

// set a default date $("#your_fieldname") // input control .next() // the date picker container .data("DateTimePicker") // the date picker object .defaultDate(new Date("2020-01-01"));

(you may still be able to use .val() but it would be expecting a javascript date object)
