I have a text field called start_date. I set its default value to today's date by setting its value to (_DateTime().strftime("%b. %d, %Y"))
The date shows up in the field, but only the first item of the formatted string displays. In this example, the field contains "Apr." and that's it. Now if I set the default value of a textarea to the same exact value, the date displays correctly.
Any chance your field is rendering as:
<input type=text name=start_date value=Apr. 30, 2002>
instead of:
<input type=text name=start_date value="Apr. 30, 2002">
I suppose that's possible. There are no quotation marks showing in the field. But if I'm using strftime(), I don't see how this could'should be happening.
