1516360 - datepicker/XUL members in disagreement with previous use and MDN

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[klaus]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

MDN: value member expects YYYY-MM-DD
dateValue member expects js Date

since it is in comm-esr60: no action upon presetting dateValue with Date. value= Date() presets the date. Previous addons may rely on what is in MDN. Please decide whether to change behaviour back to original.

Workaround: rename dateValue to value in code. 
I will put notes into MDN and the addon 57 document.

This appears to be invalid. You're confusing the Calendar/Lightning implementation with the C-C code:

https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/4c3db8aa97f726068fe1021234575b2edb445af2/common/bindings/datetimepicker.xml#569
That's former M-C datapicker forked to C-C. Also on DXR and comm-esr60:

There's also dataValue:

Calendar stuff I know nothing about. They're doing their own thing, their value appears to be a date:
