Modern Date Picker BLANK In FormMode.Edit - Integrated App

Posted on by dfsfsfsdf

The modern date control within a form does not display the value of an item's date column in FormMode.Edit.

FormMode.View:

When clicking "Edit" in SharePoint, turning FormMode to FormMode.Edit with SharePointIntegration > OnEdit = EditForm(Form):

The value disappears... and the SubmitForm validation fails, asking me to enter a date for this column. Value(), Text() and DateValue() functions inside of the date picker's DefaultDate property are not helpful. I have switched DateTimeZone values to .Local and .UTC to no avail. I even added a variable to LookUp() the item's Date Of Complaint, then set the date picker's value to that. NOTHING! Does anyone have a fix for this? I have not seen any posts about it.

Edit 4/28/26:

Thank you all for the quick responses. The solution is to remove and re-add the date picker control and withhold the update to the date picker (for now). I will not be switching back to the classic control, because that UI is absolutely disgusting and not the answer I was looking for -- nor does it fit the fluent design of all other modern controls.

I have the same issue. it is not when you edit form only but when the form changes it's DisplayMode between edit and view. Seems there is a disconnect between the DefaultDate vs SelectedDate in the code behind the control.

Please Roll back to the pre-updated modern control it does not have the issue or just use classic date picker. You can bring back the older modern control by removing the card then adding it again. from the from GUI it will bring the old DatePicker@0.0.46

The issue occurs because the Modern Date control in Power Apps does not properly bind to form data in Edit mode, especially in SharePoint-integrated apps.

This causes the value to disappear and triggers validation errors.

The most reliable solution is to replace the Modern Date control with the Classic Date Picker and bind it to Parent.Default, which correctly handles Edit mode and form submission.

Option 1 (quickest): Remove the date card from the form and re-add it from the form GUI. This pulls back the older DatePicker@0.0.46 version which does not have this issue.

Option 2 (cleaner long term): Swap to the Classic Date Picker and set its Default property to Parent.Default. It handles FormMode.Edit correctly and plays nicely with form submission validation.
