Hi,

i’m trying to set default value Or placholder in alertCtrl ? Is it possible ?

this code is not working :

```auto
let today = new Date().toLocaleDateString();

....
inputs: [
          ....
            
          {
            name: "date",
            type: "date",
            value: today,
            placeholder: today
          },

```

Thanks,  
n
