- # 48465
What happened?
- Set site default frontend language to an RTL language (e.g., Arabic).
- Open frontend article submission/edit form (
index.php?option=com_content&view=form&layout=edit).
Version
6.1
Expected result
The form loads normally with calendar assets loaded.
Actual result
An exception is thrown:
There is no "field.calendar-rtl" asset of a "style" type in the registry.
System Information
Joomla 6.1.3, PHP 8.2 / 8.3, Apache, MySQL, Windows (Laragon)
Additional Comments
Workaround / Fix:
Register field.calendar-rtl in media/system/joomla.asset.json pointing to system/fields/calendar.min.css or remove the unnecessary RTL style request in CalendarField.

Are you using an extension for your articles, for example easyblog or anything else?

My apologies, upon double-checking the frontend template, I realized the site is using Helix Ultimate (by JoomShaper), not the default Cassiopeia template.
It appears Helix Ultimate still has an override/call referencing the legacy field.calendar-rtl asset (which was removed in Joomla 6.0.4 core), causing the exception on RTL sites.
I will close this issue and report it directly to the JoomShaper / Helix Ultimate repository. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

I cannot replicate this. calendar-rtl was removed in Joomla 6.0.4
