Cannot change value of DateTimePicker in locale format

[Toke Wivelsted]

I have two DateTimePickers that need to talk together, but I am having problem programatically changing the values of them.

If I try to set the value of a DateTimePicker to "27/11/2019 16:00" the input-field of the picker is cleared and the watermark text is shown.

If I instead use "27-11-2019 16:00" the value is displayed correctly, but this is not the format defined for the control and this is not the format I want to display to the user. The displayed format reverts correctly if I change the date in the control with user input.

I have my DateTimePickers set up with the following rules:

$('#StartDate').ejDateTimePicker({

            locale: "da-DK",

            dateTimeFormat: "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm",

            width: "auto",

            height: 35,

            value: $('#StartDate').attr("defaultvalue"),

            watermarkText: "Vælg",

            buttonText: {

                timeNow: "Klokken nu"

            },

            change: DateTimePickerChanged,

            focusIn: DateTimePickerFocused

        });

function DateTimePickerFocused(args) {

       var dateObj = $('#' + args.model.name).ejDateTimePicker('instance');

       dateObj.show();

}

function DateTimePickerChanged(args) {

    // the newly selected date may invalidate the other datetimepicker control

    // in that case, change the value of the other control

    // ... code omitted

   $(selector).ejDateTimePicker({ value: '27/11/2019 16:00'});  // setting this value on a datetimepicker fails   

            

}
