Modern Date Picker Control Format Incorrect

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by magikbus 61
The modern date picker control that I have been using for some time now in a few of my apps is suddenly defaulting to the "LongAbbreviated" format. They are no longer displaying correctly. All of them are set to "Short", but not displaying as such. Did something change somewhere on the backend?

    Hi  magikbus,
     
    Instead of relying on the default Short format in the date picker, explicitly set the format using the Text function in a label or control: Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "[$-en-US]mm/dd/yyyy")
     
    pls try - thanks

    Unfortunately, this is due to a bug that was recently introduced. There have been various reports of this problem, like this one here.
