1. Reopen the datepicker
If you select a date in the datepicker and _for some reason you want to immediately change that date you have to click outside the _field otherwise it will not reopen the datepicker (there is an animation example with the issue in the _first github link)
This is a known bug and the say that it has been _fixed in the nightly beta so it might be easy to _fix

2. Wrong display _format.
In the _field setup select Display Format as DD/MM/YYYY.
In the _form if you select the date in the datepicker it will set it correctly DD/MM/YYYY but if you write your date with the keyboard ex. 02/10/2022 (DD/MM/YYYY) it will change it to 10/02/2022 (MM/DD/YYYY) in the _field. (*if you write a date where the day is over 12 ex. 22/10/2022 it won't change it).
*For a very strange reason i had a very hard time posting this topic, every time a word starts with space and the letter _f when i save it gives me a 500 Internal Server Error and after some tries it bans my IP. That's the reason i have underscores before all lowercase _f
1 & 2: not bug for me.
Have you the last version of Joomla and CF7? Your example is dated 2021.
Have you set Date Format and Real Format = DD/MM/YYYY?
So i am the only one that has this.
1. The example is from a search i did about this issue and i hoped that the problem would be something like: Old library used for Chronoforms.
2. Yes i have the Display Format as DD/MM/YYYY but i had the Real Format as YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss changing that to DD/MM/YYYY too but still get the same problem.
If you save this date in a sql database field where the field is in format date, you have always the dates in YYYY/MM/DD. You have to use a varchar format field or rewrite the date after reading the field.
May be there is a param to set european format date in sql, but I don't know why.
I think that it is not a CF7 bug.
Please make one more check to make sure only i have this issue.
I did a small video that shows both "bugs" that i have. The 01 at the start and 02 right after.
I just created a new Advanced Form and added a Calendar Field (i also added a custom CSS for the field max width, just for the video).

I have an installation of Joomla 4 with just chronoforms 7 and still get the same problems with the calendar so it must be something else, i ll keep trying.
Try at this link:
https://www.******/index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&chronoform=contact-27oct22-0522
I think that you have a limit date option, no?
I don't known if it can help, but for me I have add this CCS and the popup doesn't appear anymore.
My calendar is on "Inline without field" display mode.
.ui.calendar .ui.popup {
visibility:hidden !important;
}
I got both issues with your _form too.
@Tef_71
Thanks you but i would like to keep the datepicker too and let the user select in which way to set the date.
I could not _find out why it's doing this _for me, changing the browser language didn't _fix it, so i decided to move to html5 type=date and that solves both my problems.
Hi, I'm having the same problem as you. Can you tell me how you solved it?
@Rollo71
Sorry for the very late reply. I used a normal text field and i added an attribute type=date to it.
You can set the Text field type in v8, and v8 has a new calendar field which should not have these issues
@Max is there a way for a fix (something that we can do/edit) to stop the date DD/MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY switch.
I can't go to v8 yet and much more prefer your calendar, if i can make it work, from the default browser type date.
You set the display format to MM/DD/YYYY but it still shows as DD/MM/YYYY ? v7 ?
In v7 i set it to DD/MM/YYYY and i get MM/DD/YYYY
I got the Display Format to DD/MM/YYYY and the Real Format to YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss and i have even also added HTML Tag Attributes attributes data-dformat = DD/MM/YYYY with no luck.
Let's say we use the date 02/06/2024 as an example
If i select the date with the datepicker it will display correctly as 02/06/2024 that works as it should, but the minute i use the keyboard to change the year to 2025 it changes to 06/02/2025 MM/DD/YYYY
Also if i write the full date (02/06/2024) with the keyboard it set's it as 06/02/2024 MM/DD/YYYY
Here is a video i took doing exactly that (i did not refresh the page before using the form but trust me those are the settings i use):
Notice that the minute i write 02 with the keyboard the datepicker focuses on February like it's expecting month first.
I have tried on localhost and multiple websites and 4-5 different PCs and different browsers, i have changed my PC's language and region and the browser's (Firefox) display language and date format display.
