Date input fields are not being passed back to the controller

Question

Here is my html:

<div class="slds-form-element">
    <label class="slds-form-element__label" for="digital-property-name">
        <abbr class="slds-required" title="required">*</abbr>Start/End Date
    </label>
    <div class="slds-form-element__control">
        <div class="slds-container--medium">
            <input id="dig-start-end-date" class="slds-input slds-container--medium" type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!modalOppWrapper.opp.CONSOLE_2_Schedule_Start_Date__c}" styleClass="dig-start-date slds-hide" showDatePicker="false"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!modalOppWrapper.opp.End_Date__c}" styleClass="dig-end-date slds-hide" showDatePicker="false"/>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

I have some javascript that takes the value from the dig-start-end-date input and plops the start and end date into the two apex:inputFields below. I know that these input fields are being populated as I have checked them in the console.

I have an actionFunction that adds the wrapper to a list object. The action function is called within javascript when clicking the add-update-digital-btn:

<button id="add-update-digital-btn" class="slds-button slds-button--brand" type="button">Add Digital Opportunity</button>
<apex:actionFunction name="addUpdateDigitalOpp" action="{!addUpdateDigitalOpp}" rerender="digitalAddedComponents,errors" oncomplete="afterAddUpdateDigitalOpp();"/>

Here is the controller method:

public void addUpdateDigitalOpp() {
    system.debug(logginglevel.error, 'opp: ' + modalOppWrapper.opp);
    digitalOppWrappers.add(modalOppWrapper);
}

The debug logs show all other fields on the opportunity filled in except for these two date fields. The date fields are null.

Things I have also tried:

• Unhide the date fields
• Manually input the date into those fields

I'm probably missing something stupid, but I don't know what it is.

Update: To get past the issue, I've filled in the two date fields within my controller. However, when I try to access my wrapper class via another button, the date fields are blanked out again(!). This isn't a security issue as I have checked my profile.

Here is my OppWrapper class just in case there is something in there that is causing the issue:

public class OppWrapper {
    public String uuid { 
        get { return opp.Id == null ? uuid_private : opp.Id; } 
        private set; 
    }
    public Opportunity opp { get; private set; }
    public SelectOption[] issueDateOptions { get; private set; }
    public Boolean isChanged { get; set; }
    public Decimal amount { 
        get { return opp.Amount__c; } 
        set { opp.Amount__c = value; }
    }
    public Decimal nep { 
        get { return opp.NEP__c; } 
        set { opp.NEP__c = value; }
    }

    private String uuid_private;

    public OppWrapper(Opportunity opportunity) {
        opp = opportunity;
    }

    public void generateUUID() {
        if (String.isBlank(this.uuid)) {
            Blob b = Crypto.GenerateAESKey(128);
            String h = EncodingUtil.ConvertTohex(b);
            uuid_private = h.SubString(0,8)+ '-' + h.SubString(8,12) + '-' + h.SubString(12,16) + '-' + h.SubString(16,20) + '-' + h.substring(20);
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

ugh - i figured it out. There was another apex:inputField that was bound to the same variable (used in different parts of the page flow). I've separated these out into separate wrappers and all is well.
