Binding the value of days-until does not work.

Copy the following example into a new document, making sure that the linked files are correct.

Quote<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dmxAppConnect/dmxAppConnect.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dmxAppConnect/dmxFormatter/dmxFormatter.js"></script>
</head>
<body id="myid" is="dmx-app">
<form name="frmMailTracker" id="frmMailTracker" action="">
<input name="day" type="text" dmx-bind:value="today.datetime.daysUntil("2018-01-20"

"> 
<p>{{today.datetime.daysUntil("2018-01-20"

}}</p> 
</form>
<dmx-datetime id="today" interval="days"></dmx-datetime>
</body>
</html>

You will notice that the content in the paragraph works well while the value for the input field does not.

As a side note, I also cannot use the value of the days-until as a filter in a Data View statement.

Edit: The emicon represents a closing bracket, got wrongly translated by forum module.

Hello Ben,
You need to escape the quotes in the dmx-bind:value=" ". You cannot nest quotes in quotes in HTML markup.
so that

dmx-bind:value="today.datetime.daysUntil("2018-01-20")"

becomes

dmx-bind:value="today.datetime.daysUntil(&quot;2018-01-20&quot;)"

This happens automatically when you bind the value using the extension UI, and probably you just copied and pasted this value from somewhere else in the field value.
