Date Picker ParseFormat for MM-dd-yyyy

[Diana]

Anyone knows why MM-dd-yyyy format is being parsed to retain the first 2 digits of the year instead of last 2 digits?

Parsing 06-21-2017 to a mm-dd-yy format results in 06-21-20.

Example: http://dojo.telerik.com/unOJA

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Hi Diana,

At this stage, we are experiencing issues with the Dojo code services. That said, I was not able to check the provided code snippet.

However, I was not able to replicate the problem on my side, pleaser refer to this Jsfiddle:

Preslav,

Please take a look at the Dojo again and try 06-21-2017. Click outside and see the parsed value as being 06-21-20.

Thank you!

Hello Diana,

Thank you for elaborating on the issue.

This behavior is expected due to the fact that when the user manually inputs the date, the format is parsing a string. On the other hand, when the user picks a date from the calendar, the format is parsing a date object.

That said, a possible workaround might be setting the dateInput configuration to true.

For example, check the modified Dojo: http://dojo.telerik.com/unOJA/3
