We also have the same issue. May I know when it will get fixed?

[JimJafar]

This is actually a big problem - it's breaking form validation. Can I help with fixing it if you guys are too busy?

[IlyaSurmay]

Sure, that would be awesome :)

[valorkin]

ok, seems I have fixed it, testing

[JimJafar]

Excellent news, thanks @valorkin !
Sorry - we are in crunch time so I didn't get a chance to look at it.

[valorkin]

Will be published this thusday, but you can check here http://ngx-bootstrap.surge.sh/#/datepicker

@valorkin
Error
on edit the form, cancel submission with form reset.
display new form, then it displays calendar input as invalid and dirty, but html text boxes seem to work fine.
except that calendar box

@chanakyanet could you provide a sample please?

[chanakyanet]

Was this fix ever released because I'm having the same issue.

i came across this issue and a possible workaround may be calling markAsPristine() and markAsUntouched() form methods after setting the null value. it might work on some cases.
