Date and time fields use browser-default selection widgets #4202
Conversation
We adopted this implementation: https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/possible-datetime-local-bug/9477/7 The utilities are in model_utils not utils/forms to keep model_utils from developing circular imports.

Does having this import in the head cause a circular import?

Yes I believe so. There is another function in this file that has the same import.

Is this unset on purpose? When the form is invalid generally we'd want to open the modal again.

Yeah I unset it because there is a general redirect that resets the view and keeps the modal = 'pubdate' from having any effect, and I didn't want to touch the redirect because I'd have to test all the other view branches:

This is being output in table format. Perhaps use as_p or the foundation tag?

Huh, that is wild. Firefox clears it in my inspector pane (after parsing the HTML) but I can see it when I inspect the source. Is this a Django default feature, or something we have configured? In any case, I've added the foundation filter.
This closes #4095 as documented in that issue. Also closes #4205
The pub date selector was the only date+time combination:
In adding the form for selecting a pub date, I fixed up the confirmation message a bit so that it is crystal clear even with a timezone difference:
To make the datetime picker work, I used a custom model field as documented on the Django forum as discussed.
But as a side effect, an error is thrown when saving the model in the admin. (Change the Article admin back to
admin.ModelAdminto see the error.) To handle this I created an override to use the same widget in the admin. It is a bit ugly:If we don't like this we can simply drop the ModelField and use the custom FormField or widget independently.
