Datepicker not working when editing forms from the backend

  1. Hello,

    I have a form with a datepicker working perfectly on the frontend but not working on the backend. Problem, my client is asking for dates to be changed. While it can be done directly in MySQL, this is not the best solution.

    Any ideas why datepicker would not work on the backend when editing a form?

    FYI, there is no script error in the console. I guess it can be a conflict between plugins but perhaps you guys have a clue about that.

  2. Are you referring to editing entries in the backend?

    If so, the date picker UI does not currently appear in the edit entries screen. It only appears as a text field and you adjust the date like any other text field. So instead of picking the date in the datepicker, you make your changes by adjusting the date by typing it in.

    The date picker is a front end tool for aiding end users, and is optional and configurable. We can look at adding it to the edit entries area in a future release.

  3. Hi Carl, i had to actually hack Gravity Forms to make this text field read-only on the frontend and so could not edit it on the backend too (i am now using is-admin()).

    It is not really a big issue, will wait for a future realease but your code containing a reference to the datepicker icon (after the input.datepicker itself on the backend) so i thought i had an error on my side.

    Thanks
