Better to use          datepicker   datepicker  setDate   new Date      instead of        datepicker   datepicker  update   new Date     If you use update  event changeDate isn t triggered

For Bootstrap 4  If you are using input group in Bootstrap  you need to attach the new date to parent of the textbox  otherwise if you click on the calendar icon and click outside the date will be cleared    lt div class  input-group date  id  my-date-component  gt      lt input type  text    gt       lt div class  input-group-append  gt         lt span class  input-group-text  gt  lt i class  fa fa-calendar  gt  lt  i gt  lt  span gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    You need to set date to input-group date       my-date-component   datepicker  update   new Date  01 10 2014       Also check datepicker update method

Try      datepicker   datepicker  setDate   25-05-2020   datepicker  fill      This works for me when setDate is not updating the date picker text field value on browser    The additional  datepicker  fill     repopulate the bootstrap datepicker for new date which is set by setDate method

When using the methods of other answers  the configured options are lost  to correct it  you can use a global configuration       datepicker   datepicker      fn datepicker defaults format    dd mm yyyy     fn datepicker defaults startDate    0     fn datepicker defaults language    es     fn datepicker defaults autoclose   true    fn datepicker defaults todayHighlight   true    fn datepicker defaults todayBtn   true    fn datepicker defaults weekStart   1    Now you can use the update method without losing the options       datepicker   datepicker  update   new Date  30 11 2018
