Description Lucas Gass (lukeg) 2024-09-24 17:55:34 UTC
This is a follow-up to Bug 37398. Do we need to keep the date accessioned plugin for any reason?
Comment 1 Magnus Enger 2024-09-25 06:25:27 UTC
What does the date accessioned plugin do? Does it automatically fill in the current date when you click in the field? Can the datepicker do that?

Dateaccessioned plugin initializes a flatpickr and also does set_to_today when you click on one of the empty date fields. 

I move this functionality to calendar.inc:

Comment 3 Esther Melander 2025-10-27 15:59:25 UTC
Some libraries like to add the date accessioned plugin to different fields in their framework. One example is the 998, which is used by for cataloger's to record their initials and a date of when they either looked at or edited the record.

In this scenario it is nice to add a date selection option to a field that is not necessarily previously defined or used for dates.
