Javascript

Chris,
set 'Edit as' type to 'Text field' and validation will work.

Thanks. But the issue is that if I change it to text field, how can I get the date picker? Our users want to enter the date or use the date picker. They don't like the dropdown.
The issue is that once we take away the dropdown, we need to ensure the date format for the input is correct like 'dd/mm/yyyy'.
Any idea?
Chris.

Chris,
unfortunately you cannot add validation to date edit field. I'll see what we can do in this regard.

Chris,
we'll add this option in the next major update.
You have two options now:

1. Simple edit box with validation
   
2. Edit box with datepciker without validation (you can validate it on the server side for example)

Thanks, it will be useful in future project. I believe your major release is referring to version 6.3. Unfortunately, I am using 6.2 now, but will see how easy I can upgrade to 6.3.
Chris.

No, version 6.3 released already. We won't be able to add this till version 7.0.

Thanks.
In you next major release, can we have the option to assign default value of the search fields on server side or using session variable.
Chris.
