Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Nullable<DateOnly>	DateTime.Today	The value displayed in the empty editor when a user starts to enter data.

Remarks

If the editor’s value is not set, the editor displays the default date when a user opens the drop-down calendar. The DefaultDate value cannot be earlier DateEditSettings.MinDate or later than DateEditSettings.MaxDate. The editor also shows the default value to suggest an auto-complete option.

The DefaultDate property does not affect the value that the empty editor returns. Use the BaseEdit.NullValue property to specify the editor value when its value is null.
