Hello,

This issue already has been reported to me but I don't manage to reproduce it. I think it has to do with the browser lang. Can you give more info on that please? Screenshots are welcome, too.

Hi Nicolas,
the browser language is German.

I have made short videos for edge and chrome.

Great, thank you. I'll look into it.

So the issue was not related to the browser lang, but some weird bug where valueAsDate would be null on Chromium (and Chromium based browser like you observed), so I used valueAsNumber it it seems to work fine. When this issue will autoclose, it will be because the code was merged to master, which is generally done before release, so it would be great if you could have a look on the demo website and confirm that it's all good with the new version. The demo gets alpha/beta versions.

Thank you for your effort. I have just tested the behaviour at demo.elabftw.net (is this the right place?). In Firefox its fine. In chromium and edge it is still present.

[NicolasCARPi]

That's normal. Read again my message carefully. It starts with "When this issue will autoclose", which has not happened yet ;)

[MisterCodeRalf]

OK, sorry for the confusion. I will test it again when autoclosed.
