If the property is not specified in the configuration object, nothing is selected in the calendar on initialization.

note

Please note that the format of date in the Calendar is defined by the dateFormat option. So, check that you've set the format of date you want to use in the calendar both in the value and in the dateFormat property. Otherwise, the default format ("%d/%m/%y") will be used.
