date format not applied on review page

Hi,

I want to have a custom format for the date input field. Therefore I set the property "oxf.xforms.format.input.date" to "[D01].[M01].[Y0001]".
This works in "new" and "edit" mode. It does not work if I navigate to the review page!?

I found the problem.
I have to change the property "oxf.xforms.format.output.date" to "if (. castable as xs:date) then format-date(xs:date(.), '[D01].[M01].[Y0001]', xxf:lang(), (), ()) else ." then it works.
Why is by default the date input format differently from the ouput format?

Hi Martin,

You're exactly right, it is the output format that is used on the review page. This is intentional, but come to think of it, somewhat unexpected. I've added an RFE to use the same format:

Hi Alex,

thanky you for thinking about it. My opinion is that it will be more intuitive if by default the format of an input field (after focus lost) is the same as on the review page.

Martin, exactly, our thinking is perfectly inline. Now, we just have to do it! :)
