It is not possible to clear an editable field of type "datepiker" in a dhx.Form 6.4.2

Suite and Optimus Suite 6

There is a form:

let form = dhx.Form('formCont', {rows: [
    {id:'date_reg', type:'datepicker', required:true, label:'Registration date', width:'600px', labelWidth:'180px', labelPosition:'left', weekStart:'monday', dateFormat:'%d.%m.%Y', value:new Date()},
    {id:'date_exp', type:'datepicker', label:'Expiration date', editable:true, width:'600px', labelWidth:'180px', labelPosition:'left', weekStart:'monday', dateFormat:'%d.%m.%Y'}
]});

The second field may be empty. But if I once set a value for it, it is impossible to remove this value: the input field will be empty, but form.getValue () will return:

{“date_reg”:“24.04.2020”, “date_exp”:“24.04.2020”}

Calendar.setValue() method does not accept a null value, Calendar.clear() method does not fire a ‘change’ event. For now I use this workaround:

let id = 'date_exp';
document.querySelector('input#' + id).onchange = function(Ev) {
	if(this.value!=form.getValue()[id]) {
		form.getItem(id).getWidget().clear();
		this.value = form.getItem(id).config.value = form._state[id] = '';
    }
}

It would be great if in the next version you provided normal processing of such fields. Thanks!

P.S. Do you reply to messages in Russian?

Thank you for your information. Unfortunately, I can’t switch to Suite 6.4.4 in my project right now due to many CSS issues that I find in this version :frowning: . And I can’t test changes in your snippet’s tool too, cause there is still 6.4.3 library version in the tool (as of May 22, 2020). Please set actual version in your tool.

Thanks

Please, change version of suite.css file in snippet tool to 6.4.4 too. I can’t show you my CSS issues in this version.

Could you please clarify your problem, as the css should be correct in the snippet tool.

Now everything is correct in snippet tool. Maybe my Firefox cache js and css files too long. Anyway, thanks!!!

I described my CSS issues here.
