I am using date fields in Orbeon form builder that should be prefilled with the current date (see http://i42.tinypic.com/erdjrb.jpg). When choosing a date by hand in the form, the date format in resulting XML model is set to “2011-07-12”. But when not changing the default value of current-date(), then I get “2011-07-12+02:00”. Does anybody know why the date format is different when I prefill it with current-date()?
Thank you!
The XPath function
fn:current-date()by definition returns the date together with explicit time zone information. I assume orbeon just passes the function call to the XPath engine (Saxon i think). A quick workaround would be to format the result ofcurrent-date()usingformat-date(), for example:Since i don’t use Form Builder, i can’t tell in detail, but i assume setting the config options how to format xforms:input controls regarding date and time values applies for form builder, too.
