SA-25741

Summary

A section is built based on a page, there is a date field on this page referenced with pxDateTime control.

At runtime, when a date value is selected from the control, it is stored in clipboard as Text value instead of a DateTime value. Furthermore, the control is formatting the wrong stored Text value as per operator timezone/locale and presenting an incorrect value on the screen.

Error Messages

Not Applicable

Steps to Reproduce

1. Declare a page in 'Pages & Classes' tab of a section. 
2. Make sure this page is not instantiated by any logic of application by the time this section renders real time.

Root Cause

When you define a Page with it's class on 'Pages & Classes' tab of a section rule, at runtime the page will be classless - this is expected if it is not already present on the clipboard.
Pages-and-classes entry does not itself create pages.





When screen is loaded we see that WPg is classless rather, the root cause.



Enter date value into fields and submit to clipboard these are stored as text values





These incorrectly stored values are assumed to be in GMT and displayed by converting to operator timezone, by pxDateTime

Resolution

Make sure the Page declared in 'Pages & Classes' is instantiated through the application logic and is present on clipboard by the time the section executes or loads.
