Thread:Extension talk:Semantic Forms Inputs/Dynamic default value (now) possible?/reply (3)

I do. :)

The point is, SFI could parse the current/default value given as a parameter to the input. But then it would also parse any user input a user might have done earlier. E.g. lets say it would indeed parse the value. Along comes some user thinking that " " would be a good thing to put into that field - would result in a valid date after all. This user would fully and rightly expect that " " appears verbatim in the page. It even would after the first edit. Then on the second edit the datepicker would parse that string and save it, i.e. it would replace the parser command by a static value.
