jForms Date : Could be initialized from a controller to a default value

[foxmask]

in my foo.form.xml i define a date

<date ref="dl_date" required="true">
	<label locale="downloads~common.dl_date"/>
</date>

and in my controller i set a default value to it like this for example :

$form->setData('dl_date',date("d-m-Y"));

in my form i do

{ctrl_value 'dl_date'}

to check if the value is correctly assign (and that displays the corect value !) and

<p class="field col">{ctrl_label 'dl_date'} {ctrl_control 'dl_date'}</p>

to display the field with the given value

but in this last case ; the value i've assigned ealier in the controller is not used by the field

There is no still documentation about this new widget, however I think that the format you should use to setup this widget is Y-m-d and not d-m-Y.

So I think this ticket is invalid.

I confirm.
