<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>
      If user set this property to <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/bool">true</a>, <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Wpf.SpreadSheet.CellType.Editors.GcDateTime.html">GcDateTime</a> will show a lighter text on the field based on the <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Wpf.SpreadSheet.CellType.Editors.GcDateTime.RecommendedValue.html#GrapeCity_Wpf_SpreadSheet_CellType_Editors_GcDateTime_RecommendedValue">RecommendedValue</a>. If the fields contains Japan era year field, it will show corresponding era year name.
      </p>
<p>
      If <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Wpf.SpreadSheet.CellType.Editors.GcDateTime.FieldSet.html#GrapeCity_Wpf_SpreadSheet_CellType_Editors_GcDateTime_FieldSet">FieldSet</a> doesn't contain any field, the recommended value will not be shown 
      and the <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Wpf.SpreadSheet.CellType.Editors.GcDateTime.ApplyRecommendedValueCommand.html#GrapeCity_Wpf_SpreadSheet_CellType_Editors_GcDateTime_ApplyRecommendedValueCommand">ApplyRecommendedValueCommand</a> execution will do nothing either.
      </p>
<p>
      Recommended value has lower priority than display fields and watermark.
      When watermark or display fields is shown, the recommended value is not shown any more, but the <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Wpf.SpreadSheet.CellType.Editors.GcDateTime.ApplyRecommendedValueCommand.html#GrapeCity_Wpf_SpreadSheet_CellType_Editors_GcDateTime_ApplyRecommendedValueCommand">ApplyRecommendedValueCommand</a> still works in this case.
