Date picker - initial content

If I specify “Current date/time” as initial content for the date picker the current date is shown when the page is loaded, giving the user the impression that this date has been pre-selected - so far so good.
However once I save all the input values of the form with a button click, the field “DateInput Picker’s value” seems to be empty. Is this normal or am I doing anything wrong?

Can you post a link? Generally speaking, we can’t help without a context.

Also, can you try using the debugger we just added?
