[confiforms] Calendar not properly populating the date

[Kire Trajkovski]

Hi,

When I select the dates from my calendar in the form (UI), it never matches the month and day I choose. 
I have to manually update the date afterwards after every date selection. 

Does someone has the similar issue as me?

Best,

Kire

Do you use some custom date formatting pattern? 

[Kire Trajkovski]

I don't see place to update that, so it should be the default format, but it's an US format for me.

Could you share what you actually have? Like a screenshot for the field configuration, for example?

[Kire Trajkovski]

Here are 2 screenshots about the behaviour. I don't see any configuration in the form about the date format. Guide me how to find that.

The right format should be "04/13/2026", but as you can see on the calendar after clicking the April 13th is "36/13/2026". I found an incremental pattern, next time I choose it will be "37/13/2026".

I checked my Confluence TimeZone settings and I have this:
"Site Default ((GMT+0000) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC))"

You seems to have a custom date formatting pattern (in a ConfiForms Field Definition macro for this field) - as mm/dd/yyyy is NOT really a valid date formatting pattern

mm is for minutes, while MM is for months

Thanks a lot, this helps. I didn't have an overview of the formats previously, sharing it with whoever needs it: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
