SinglePlanningCalendar StartDateChange event does not contain the actual startDate

[daletman]

OpenUI5 version: 1.130.1 and 1.120.23 tested

Browser/version (+device/version): any

URL (minimal example if possible):
https://ui5.sap.com/#/entity/sap.m.SinglePlanningCalendar/sample/sap.m.sample.SinglePlanningCalendar

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• In Month View use the arrows besides 'Today' button to change the month
• The MessageToast shows the carried date object in the oEvent

What is the expected result?

The showed date should be the first day showed by the calendar (in this case Aug 29 2018)

What happens instead?

Aug 09 2018 is showed instead

Hello @daletman,

Thank you for sharing this finding. I've created an internal incident DINC0344149. The status of the issue will be updated here in GitHub.

Hey @daletman,

The startDate property from the startDateChange event doesn’t always match the start of the visible grid. It can be set to any date (defaulting to today) and shifts by a day, week, or month depending on the view when using the navigation arrows.

As we can see that it might be misleading, we will work on implementing a feature to show the grid's first visible date more clearly. This improvement is tracked in the backlog item BGSOFUIBALKAN-7274. Thank you for your patience.

Best,
Diana P

Hi @didip1000,

thank you for the update. Would it be possible to also get the last visible date in the Event?

My use case is, that I have an OData Model and I want to select only the dates that are currently visible by the calendar.

Best,

Hey @daletman,

We will be investigating that option as well, but we can’t guarantee this feature will make it in. You can calculate the end date using the start date and the known number of cells in the view (e.g., 42 for a month view).

Best,
Diana
