Multiple dates are not selected by default in edit form

[varmad]

Dear @adrienpoly,

I am using this plugin in my new project, I have a problem with multiple dates highlight in the edit form. The defaultDate data attribute is not working. Could you please help me with this.

Here am attaching the screenshot.

hello @varmad

I had a quick look into it, defaultDate is a string in flatpickr. So maybe you could try to pass a string with the multiple dates rather than an array?

Hello @adrienpoly

Yes, now it's working. Thank you so much for your quick reply.

I have noticed one more thing while selecting multiple dates from the date picker, by default comma and whitespace(", ") are added between the dates, so in edit form also you should populate the dates with the same format.

Example:
Create form:
2019-06-02, 2019-06-03, 2019-06-04(format from the calendar)

Edit form:
2019-06-02,2019-06-03,2019-06-04 (this format won't work)
2019-06-02, 2019-06-03, 2019-06-04 (this will work)
