DatePicker Not Navigating to Selected Date
J
Juan Alegre
In recent updates, the DatePicker in Capacities does not navigate to the chosen date when pressing Enter. For example, selecting November 12, 2002, and pressing Enter does not take me to that date or even the correct month. This issue disrupts quick navigation to specific dates and impacts usability when accessing historical events in the calendar.

I can’t input a right date with keyboard

Hi! I am Jean-Francois from France.
When i write a date, like 16 july 1865, the date displayed is 7 april 1866. 16 july 1865 -> 7 april 1867. And so on...
I can't write the right date, it's always wrong. On every date, it's wrong.
Thanks for your attention, JF

Could you please give us some information about your settings:
- Language (Settings > Language)
- Timezone (Settings > Date & Time > Timezone)
- Date formatting settings (Settings > Date & Time > Date formatting), e.g. mm-dd-yy
Thank you!

Luca Joos, my language is set to US English, and my date format is “Localized ISO 8601”, date format day-month-year and time 12-hours. I’m in Australia.

I'll look into it, thanks for reporting.

Luca Joos - I know you're working on it, but this is getting pretty bad. I've tried alternatives, with the tab key to exit. If I have a duration set, e.g. 30 minutes, and the date jumps and I edit the date, the end time also changes to make it a 60 min meeting. So, now, instead of being a quick, few seconds, keyboard entry, it takes me 30-40 seconds to bring up the calendar, scroll through the months, pick the date, then update the time, and hope the date doesn't jump again. Very painful.

André Hake: We have recently released an update that should solve the problem. Is the issue still occurring?

André Hake
Yes, Luca Joos. I’m on app v1.43.6, now, and still have the same issue
Luca Joos
André Hake: I'll look into it again.

Thank you, Luca Joos. Here is another example... I don't understand why it jumps to 2030? I think part of it is that it gets confused with the date format. The calendar at the bottom selects the wrong date, so when I click out of it, or Tab, or press Enter, it accepts the choice in the calendar picker, rather than the date. So, I suspect it interprets what I'm entering wrong.

André Hake: We have found the problem and have already fixed it. It will be published with the next release.
The problem was that the parsing of the day and month was swapped in some scenarios, which in your case, for example, added 30 months to the result, causing the date to jump “seemingly randomly” to 2030.
