    Hi
    I am creating a custom mgr page for bookings so need to use xtype datefields. I have set them up and they are saving into the database correctly but they will not display the current date stored. Any ideas?!

     { xtype: 'datefield',fieldLabel: _('bookings.arrival'),name: 'arrival',format: 'd/m/y',anchor: '48%' }


    The field populates once you select a date but it makes things kind of tricky to not see the current held date!

    Thanks
    Gareth

      Actually, I was wrong, it wasn't saving the dates! But it is now since I removed the format part:
      { xtype: 'datefield',fieldLabel: _('bookings.arrival'),name: 'arrival',anchor: '48%' }


      Date still not displaying though :-(

        SOLVED!

        I had to set the correct date format going in (i.e. it had to match the DB format:
        { xtype: 'datefield',fieldLabel: _('bookings.arrival'),name: 'arrival', format:'Y-m-d H:i:s',anchor: '48%' }


        Hopefully this may help someone!
