When date changes, time is reseted to 12:00

[danielcharrua]

Hello, I'm using your plugin and it's a great plugin! but if I have a default date time defined and change date, time is reseted to 12:00.

For example if I'm using 2018-05-05 14:05 and change date the time is reseted to 12:00.
Is there any way to change date but keep the time?

I have also tried the the main website and the same is happening, you can check it here https://flatpickr.js.org/examples/#datetimepicker-with-limited-time-range I suppose that this is intended.

• flatpickr version used: v4
• Browser name and version: Chrome, Safari
• OS and version: Mac High Sierra 10.13.4

Hi.
I have the same issue. Checking the file flatpickr.js, in the function selectDate(e) I found:

[...]
setHoursFromInputs(); //row 1716
[...]
setDefaultHours(); // row 1728
[...]

It looks to me that first the time is setted in the right way and the it's setted to default value.

I commented out the setDefaultHours() line and now looks like is working good, but I don't know if this change can introduce some regression.

Hopefully someone of the team can give us a better answer.

bye,

Yup, this behaviour shows in their example page too, would love to see this officially fixed.

Hey, this issue is also present in example page as @LiamDawe says. I would also love to see this fixed or maybe a developer answer.

I'm running into the same problem, and would love a solution for it!

I had the same problem and I figured out that it was because in my dateFormat I forgot to add the time.

Changing from "d-m-Y" to "d-m-Y H:i" did the job !

Hello @LaisneMael, I have tried that but this is not working, I'm using the correct dateFormat. And please take a minute to test the example page: https://flatpickr.js.org/examples/#datetimepicker-with-limited-time-range
First select date and then time, suppose 09:00 and then change date. Time reset itself to 12.00, and in the example page I don't think they have an error...

Any ideas @chmln (author) we need a fix here!

[LaisneMael]

Hi @danielcharrua, sorry I misunderstood your problem. Mine was that every time I changed the hours it instantly reset to 12.00.

I think your issue is the normal behaviour as explained in @tantuffah 's answer. If you don't want this you'll need to comment setDefaultHours(); in the selectDate(e) function.

Maybe in the future @chmln can add an option to turn off this behaviour.

Yep, I'm also experiencing this bug. Would really like the time not set back to default on each date selection..

[Techn1x]

I believe this is also severely affecting the usability of the datepicker when mode is 'range' and time is enabled - makes it very hard to select the time for the start/end.

Hello,

This is now fixed on master and will be a part of the next release very soon.
Thank you all for patience :)

What's the status here? I'm dealing with errors too.

I pass a date obj in to the input's value (with a time other than 12:00 am) and it still displays that way.

Hi this is fixed in v4.5.1 (latest)
