Error with setting minimum and maximum dates

[Crare]

Bug report

Summary

I have error when setting minimum and maximum dates. the datepicker works the first time ok, but the second time you use it (open the modal) with different min and max dates it breaks and gives error message:

Unexpected error occured
Apologies..The app will close now
Please restart the app
Unable to set a visible month that is before the minimum or after the maximum date.

I'm using react-native-modal-datetime-picker which uses react-native-datetimepicker underneath it, so I think this might be the actual place for issue. Please do correct me if that is not the case.

Because i was having the 2 picker on the same screen,

and to one picker i was passing the minDate only and to the 2nd picker i was passing the max date only

[ArviinM]

this this confit it was crashing display = 'default'; i set the display = 'spinner'; and crash gone

this is a good temporary fix but yes using the default display crashes the app.

Yes we had similar issue. There is two input fields, one for start date and one for end date for a period of time to be given. this uses two of these modal components. it has min and max date ranges set based on the start date. if start date changes, max-date for the end-date-input needs to be update n-days forward.

Hi there, we have the exact same form structure as you described and experiencing this issue. Would you mind guiding me through how you solved this?

[usmanindustryis]

As I mentioned above change the display prop to spinner, it should be fixed

[vuciv]

@usmanindustryis Saying "don't use this feature" is not a "fix"

[vuciv]

also, please fix

[Junveloper]

@vuciv The issue has been fixed from #1026
