Default date in calendar field

[Franck-C]

Hello,
I'm developping a module that use the calendar.
In my .xml file I have :

Code: Select all

   <field
      name="start"
      type="calendar"
      format="%Y"
      default="2019"
      label="MOD_INFORMATION_FIELD_START_YEAR_LABEL"
      description="MOD_INFORMATION_FIELD_START_YEAR_DESC" />

But when I go to the administration of the module the result is not as expected :
The year in the field is at "1970" and the date selected when I click on the calendar icon is the date of the prensent day.
Moreover when I save my parameter (ex : "2015") and I go back to the Edit panel, the date is again at "1970". Each time I want to change one parameter I also have to change the date.

Can someone tell me how the "default" option work?

Thank you!

Thanks for your answer but I already put the default date :

Code: Select all

<field
      name="start"
      type="calendar"
      format="%Y"
      default="2019"
      label="MOD_INFORMATION_FIELD_START_YEAR_LABEL"
      description="MOD_INFORMATION_FIELD_START_YEAR_DESC" />

The date is pre-selected but not selected :
If I click on the calendar (in the edit mode) the date displayed is the default date but if if dont click on a date in this calendar and I save the changement of the module the date saved is 1970.
