UX displayFormat issue

[presencewebdesign]

We would like the date to be displayed in this order dmy which works perfectly.
We expect the user to start filling out the date from left to right beginning with the date and month, When the user selects the year the values are all reset which is a bad user experience, the user has to now update the date and month again which will cause frustration.

This has stopped us from using this plugin, how can we resolve this issue?

$("example").dropdownDatepicker({
displayFormat: "dmy"
});

I had this same issue. When formatting and submitting for MDY every time the user selected a year it would reset Month and Day leaving the user to have to reselect. I fixed this by removing the double check on the date validation starting at line 232. I could be wrong, but that revalidation seems redundant and fixed the issue of the form fields resetting from any order the user may choose.

Could you please share which code are you talking about I checked line 232 and this is the code that I found.

if ($(this).hasClass('month')) {
    $that.clearOptions($daySelect);
    $dayOptions = $that.buildDayOptions(month, year);
    $dayDropdown = $that.addOptionsToDropdown($daySelect, $dayOptions);
    $that.internals.objectRefs.dayDropdown = $dayDropdown;
    if (typeof $that.config.onMonthChange === 'function') {
        $that.config.onMonthChange(day, month, year);
    }
}

Did you remove all the ifs for day, year, and month? Would appreciate your clarification on this. I am encountering the same issue.

Thanks!
