Xpages Date Time Picker field defaults to today's date

Question

Running a ND9 server and when browsing a Xpage with a date field, the default value for this field is always today\'s date.

On a 8.5.3 server the control is rendered

Answer 1

Add this to your XPage and the behavior is like in 8.5.3

<xp:this.resources>
<xp:script clientSide="true">
<xp:this.contents><![CDATA[
require([
"dojo/_base/lang",
"ibm/xsp/widget/layout/DateTextBox",
"ibm/xsp/widget/layout/TimeTextBox",
"ibm/xsp/widget/layout/DateTimeTextBox"
], function(lang, DateTextBox, TimeTextBox, DateTimeTextBox){
var a = {};
lang.mixin(a, {
postCreate: function(){
this.inherited(arguments);
}
});
DateTextBox.extend(a);
TimeTextBox.extend(a);
DateTimeTextBox.extend(a);
});
]]></xp:this.contents>
</xp:script>
</xp:this.resources>

Thanks IBM for the fast response.

Answer 2

This was actually a fix put into v9.0. Today's date appearing by default is now the expected behaviour
