Description

Hi,
it seems a regression since 2.18.3, date edit widget will only show the current date in a form, even without any default value set or being readonly.
This makes it pretty unusable.

I had hard time spotting it since another issue with qlr export #16655 let me think that only my project was corrupted.

That's a datetime field - I think the issue is that you've set the format to "date" along. Does it work correctly if you change that to "date/time"?

What data provider is this? can you share the data?

Nope, I tested many widget configuration changes before. Only setting it back to textEdit allowed me to see the actual data.
What data provider is this? 

Original issue was detected in postgres with a view with edit triggers pointing to a table with a "timestamp with time zone" field.
can you share the data?

Oh, I joined the wrong file. Here is a gpkg file going with the date_default_widget_value_issue.qgs file

when I cast the field in the SQL view to a date field, QGIS will handle it correctly.

#5 Updated by Denis Rouzaud about 7 years ago

using yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss+02 in the format solves the diplay issue.

The field format must be set accordingly to what is in the data, so it's not really a bug here.

Although I tried yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss+t (time zone) without success. So there might be an issue here.

So I guess, there is two things to improve here:

  • guessing the format from the source
  • fix time zone format

the ticket has been tagged as a regression because apparently the guessing worked until 2.18.3

Lowering the priority since casting to DATE format gives a workaround

still a regression, so to keep consistency with the others better keep priority "high".

#12 Updated by Luigi Pirelli about 7 years ago

error is probably only located in setting the correct format string here:
https://github.com/qgis/qgis/blob/release-2_18/src/gui/editorwidgets/qgsdatetimeeditfactory.cpp#L88
btw Qt:ISODate formate parse correctly the proposed date.
