12.0p: MiniDateRangeItem has problems with time and filtering

[Isomorphic]

The problem here is just a mismatch of types - you are assigning type:"datetime" to a formItem which is databound to a DS field with type:"date".

If you create a clientOnly DS with a date field and a datetime field and bind to that, you should see both fields working as expected, without specifying type on the formItems.

Hi Isomorphic

this happens the same way for DateRangeItem (without "Mini").
I think the problem is that RelativeDates don't support time - it's always nulled.
If you click the calendar icon of a DateRangeItem / MiniDateRangeItem with a relative date and then select a time, the value of the item changes from RelativeDate (with nulled time) to normal date.

Hi Isomorphic,

actually, there is a small problem left with the code from #4. Please see this video, where it seems that the time portion is ignored, if it is the automatic 23:59 for the end date.
It's OK if you select a time manually.

Hi Isomorphic,

this is working for me now with v12.0p_2020-07-11. Please also note the report on echoFull() above.

Thanks you & Best regards

Hi Isomorphic,

thanks, will retest.
Also thanks for the hint on echoFull() - that's what I wanted to do. I looked up the docs directly, but it seems not to be doc'd, only echo(), echoAll(), echoLeaf() are in the object..isc docs. It's also missing in the SmartGWT SC docs.

W.r.t. to the need of the type:"datetime" call I already asked here if it's really correct that I need this call - the underlying DataSource field is already of type datetime (in my case, not in the showcase).

Please retest this one in a build dated July 10 or later as well - and note that your MiniDateRangeItem field needs type:"datetime" if you want full time-filtering. The default is type:"date", and this will be properly enforced in the next build.

Out of interest, if you want your first button to show the criteria-proper, wrap the call - isc.echoFull(form.getValuesAsAdvancedCriteria())

Hi Isomorphic,

please see the video of this modified testcase (v12.0p_2020-07-02).
As you can see, after the item has stored the two datetimes (after selecting the 1st one twice, see ticket here), it forgets about the times (see the 12:00 in the popup and compare to the 23:59 in the "to"-field when selecting).

Also, eventually the time-selection is no longer displayed in the DateItem for subsequent openings.
Note that the problem here might be somehow related to nextShipment-field being of type="date" in the .ds.xml and not datetime (please also try it like that and modify the .ds.xml)

For me, it also happened the same with datetime-fields where also the time is ignored. This is a problem, as then the entries from the whole last day are missing (00:00 vs 23:59).
(this is what happened for me).
Also the time selection disappears here (=for datetime-fields) for subsequent openings, too (last seconds of the video), which clearly is wrong.
