Date validation ALMOST works, BUT!!!!

date validation works in lc 8 form, when prepopulate pdf form dates, validation checker complains.

so have prepopulated date field without triggering date validation? if so, how??

i notice when pick date field using field's built-in calendar, displays date short format ex. dec 5 2007

i notice after using calendar, clicking on short date, date format changes "mm/dd/yy".

so you'd think prepopulating date field short format or "mm/dd/yy" work great.

nope.

when prepopulate same date in same field using short format, no dice. correct date shows, validation script kicks in.

i've tried prepopulating each of these "mm/dd/yyyy" "mm/dd/yy" "mm-dd-yy" "mm-dd-yyyy" , validation script still triggered.

any in area appreciated!

have done validation setting validation pattern under object, value?

if so, set pattern date{mm/dd/yyyy}|date{mmmm dd yyyy}|date{mm-dd-yy}

etc , set edit pattern same...

prepopulate field setting default value in object, value...

if format of value matches 1 of formats in validation pattern should not validation error (works me, tried it)
