When upgrading applications from 18.x to 24.x version we have lost the ability to default the date on the Calendar popup. This property allowed the popup calendar to be initialised to value without populating the field with a default value.
This allowed the user to pick a suggested date or change to a different one.
Also, when cancelling the popup calendar no value was populated in the field.
- Has anyone found a solution with the new Date Picker introduced in version 22.2 to achieve an equivalent solution.
- Any exposed JavaScript API available to activate the popup calendar to a specified date or month-year?
Setup (18.2)
Run time (18.2)
Below is the help on the property in Apex builder in 18.2
Highlighted Date
Enter a default date value to be highlighted when the calendar pop-up is invoked. If not specified, the calendar highlights the current date and time.
The value can be an absolute value in 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI' format or a relative value with respect to today's date, such as +7d, or a dynamic value using substitution syntax, providing the substitution returns the correct date format or relative value.
I had initially posted in the Communities channel here as part of raising a SR around this.
But it seems this forum may be more active.
