Current Date is not selected in Calendar

[MS]

 Hello,

I created a test form to test "fr:date". 

Problem Statement:  There is not any preselected date or Current Date highlighted in the calendar. 

Expected Result: 

-Today's date should be pre-selected in calendar, if there is a null value in database for that field. [Not Working]

- If there is a date coming from Database, that date should be selected in the calendar.  [Working] 

Thank You,

MS

Hi MS,

If a date is selected, that date is highlighted when the picker opens.
If no date is selected, no date is highlighted when the picker is opened.

Highlighting the current date in the second case would make you think that the current date was selected, which it wasn't. However, if you want the current date to be selected automatically if no other date is selected, you can use a calculated value like this:

    if (xxf:is-blank()) then current-date() else .

Let me know if this makes sense.
