BUG in validate() Form when using a DateRangeItem

[paulwilhelm]

Version v13.0p_2022-08-22

a Validate() Form returns false allthough a user entered a valid date in the 'from' and the 'to' date and the to date is not before the from date:
Example :

isc.DynamicForm.create({
ID: "form",
width: 500,
titleOrientation: "top",
dataSource: "worldDS",
items: [
{ name: "independence", editorType: "DateRangeItem", showTitle: false },
{ name: "searchButton", type: "ButtonItem", title: "Validate",
click: function () {
form.validate();
}
}
]
});

Hi paulwilhelm,

I'm not sure this is a bug. I tested here and can see what you mean, but validate() is in order to save data.
You can't save a date range into a type="date" field.

But you are right, this reacts a bit funny IMHO with wrong dates combinations, so perhaps sth is off.

isc.DynamicForm.create({
    ID: "form",
    width: 500,
    titleOrientation: "top",
    dataSource: "worldDS",
    items: [{
            name: "independence",
            editorType: "DateRangeItem",
            showTitle: false
        },
        {
            name: "searchButton",
            type: "ButtonItem",
            title: "Validate",
            click: function() {
                alert(isc.JSONEncoder.create().encode(form.getValuesAsAdvancedCriteria()));
            }
        }
    ]
});

Best regards

Thanks for your answer. My Intention was a little bit easier. I only wanted to make sure that both date fields are filled with valid dates, because a fetch from the server only makes sense when this condition is fullfilled. It is a searchForm with some manadtory / required fields (not null, not empty).
I redesigned it and now use two date fields.
Kind regards
Paul
