Is there an option to internally represent the output of a datetime-field as an actual JS date object? #629

Currently when doing getValue() on my form, I'm getting back a string representation for the datetime-field as per the format I've set ("DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss" in my case).

It seems more logical to me to always have an internal representation of datetime using an actual Javascript date-object, and only use the format "DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss" for presentation.

Is this supported?

Not out of the box that I can tell, but you could create a custom field type whose getValue function converts the string into a date.
