Re: automaticly fill a date input with sysdate

Hi,
If you use <xforms:bind ref="my-date" calculate="current-date()"/> you can not populate the filed with another date, you can't choose from calendar another date because the field will automatically populated with sysdate, because of the calculate attribute behaviour. <xforms:bind doesn't have xxforms:default value attribute so on event xforms-model-construct-done or xforms-ready you can check if the "my-date" is empty and set value <xforms:setvalue ref="my-date" value="adjust-date-to-timezone(current-date(), ())"/>
Maybe there is another solution or only for me "calculate" in bind is not working proper.

To make the value writable:

<xforms:bind ref="my-date" calculate="current-date()" readonly="false()/>

But then you don't want to recalculate every time, probably only upon form load:

<xforms:bind ref="my-date" xxforms:default="current-date()" readonly="false()/>
