Set date on a datepicker jquery ui datepicker

Question

I have a website where I am implementing datepickers, the site is for uploading school tasks, then I have a datepicker for the date on which it was commissioned (homeWorkDate) and another for the date that it should be delivered (reviewDate). The detail is more noticeable when you want to edit a task, at the time of loading the dates it always takes as reference today and not its date (baseDate).

I have tried with defaultDate and setDate

function setCalendarsDate(baseDate, homeWorkDate, reviewDate) {
    $("#fmt_d")
        .datepicker({
            defaultDate: baseDate,
            maxDate: homeWorkDate
        })
        .datepicker("setDate", homeWorkDate)

    $("#fmt_e")
        .datepicker({
            defaultDate: baseDate,
            minDate: reviewDate
        })
        .datepicker("setDate", reviewDate)
}

Hey Domingo. Thank you for including your question in Spanish *and* English.

Did you tried `minDate` for setting starting date. For more details check here https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/ — Ankur, Jul 16 '19 at 04:10
Not js expert, by any means but have you tried ` $("#fmt_d").datepicker("setDate", reviewDate)` ? — Stephane Gosselin, Jul 16 '19 at 04:13
@Ankur minDate is for the earliest date accepted by the textfield. — Stephane Gosselin, Jul 16 '19 at 04:16
Can you show the date formats which you are assigning in setDate function call? — Ankur, Jul 16 '19 at 04:19

Ok, I think this may help, credit to https://stackoverflow.com/a/751843/604259

Seems you may need to pass an object as second parameter.

$('#dateselector').datepicker("setDate", new Date(2008,9,03) );

Good-luck

Not necessary to pass date object. Right format will work too. https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#method-setDate – Ankur Jul 16 '19 at 04:21
