FIll PDF Form Date Field

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

When filling a PDF that contains a date field, after setting this value as:
8/30/18
the pdf shows as:
//18.

The values are filled like this:
Document pdfDocument = new Document(@“D:\PDF\Test3.pdf”);
Field dateField = pdfDocument.Form.Fields[2];
dateField.Value = de.Value.ToString();

After you make click on the field, it displays the correct value, and when you leave the field it goes back to the incorrect value.

Am I doing anything wrong?

This has been open a long time now. I’m version 20.6 and this is still an issue. Is there any update on the timeframe for a fix? Or at least a suggested work around?
