    Hi @kemalkautsar,

    I hope you are doing well today!

    The issue you’re encountering with the date field not displaying correctly after using jQuery to change its value is likely due to the specific way date inputs handle their value format. Date input fields expect the value to be in a specific format, typically YYYY-MM-DD, to display correctly. If the format of the text you are trying to set as the value of the date input does not match this expected format, it may not display as intended or at all.

    Here’s how you can address this issue:

    1. Ensure Date Format Compatibility: First, ensure that the text content of .dbuff-date (the element from which you are pulling the date to set as the value of the date input) is in the YYYY-MM-DD format. If it’s not, you’ll need to convert it to this format before setting it as the value of the date input.
    2. Format Conversion (if needed): If the date in .dbuff-date is not in the correct format, you’ll need to convert it. You can use JavaScript’s Date object to help with this, though handling dates in JavaScript can get tricky due to locale and timezone issues. For more robust date handling, you might consider using a library like moment.js or date-fns.
    1. Debugging Tips:
    • Check the Console for Errors: Open your browser’s developer tools and check the console for any JavaScript errors that might indicate problems with your code.
    • Verify Date Format: Log the date string to the console to make sure it’s in the correct YYYY-MM-DD format before setting it as the value of the date input.
    • Consider Browser Differences: Different browsers might handle date inputs slightly differently, so if you’re only testing in one browser, try another to see if the behavior is consistent.

    I hope these steps can help you to resolve the issue.

    Kind regards,
    Zafer
