Set date when using Kendo date picker

[Justin Peszleny]

I am trying to set the date programtically using a Kendo datetime picker but the date won't save. Is there a special trick to get this to work?

I am using moment.js and simply setting the date like this:

fd.field("CA1Date").value(moment().format());

The date shows up inside the Kendo datetime picker but when I save the form it doesn't save.

Hi,

Try to pass a date object into the value method, ex.:

fd.field('FieldName').value(new Date());

Thanks for the reply. Just tried that but still doesn't work. The value gets set in the textbox but isn't saved when saving the form. Is there any special functions that are called when using the Kendo Date Picker to make this work?

Hi,

You're right, the issue is in our code. We will fix it soon. For now, use the following code to set kendo Date field:

Code: Select all

fd.field('FieldName').control('kendoDatePicker').done(function(datePicker) {
	datePicker.value(new Date());
	datePicker.trigger('change');
});

Perfect! Tried that and it works. Thanks!
