Form DatePicker field format validation error

[Frans]

Hi,

I get a error message 'The field StartDate must be a date.' when I try to set the DatePicker dateformat, like this:

It seems something goes wrong by validating the date value, because of the format.

My code snippet:

   items.Add()
                            .Field(propInfo.Name)
                            .Label(propInfo.Label)
                            .Editor(e =>
                            {
                                e.DatePicker().Format("dd-MM-yyyy");
                            });

How can I solve this easily, on the server side (preferably not jQuery / javascript fix).

Hello, Frans,

The error you are seeing is triggered by the client side validator. This usually occurs when the client has a different culture than the server and it prevents unexpected formats to be sent to the server side.

To remedy the error, you need to set the client side culture as well as the server side culture to match. We have an article about this at:

https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/globalization/overview#matching-cultures

Give this a try and let me know in case the issue persists and in which culture so I can run some test locally.

Look forward to hearing back from you.
