Bootstrap Datetimepicker Set Date
Answer : As per documentation you can use string, Date, moment, null , string and Date examples are below. Note default picker format. $('#datetimepicker1').data("DateTimePicker").date(new Date()) or $('#datetimepicker1').data("DateTimePicker").date('1/11/2016 12:23:12') Sure, i'm real Necromancer, but i got same problem and .date() function does not help for me. But, i found this: $('#datetimepicker1').data("DateTimePicker").options({ defaultDate: newdate}); // newdate - could be Date, Moment or ISO string
