    Allow miniDateRangeItems' values to show up in the form's values array, or if `DynamicForm.getValuesAsCriteria()` is called, for the criterion to be included in the returned AdvancedCriteria object
    Overrides:
      `getShouldSaveValue` in class `FormItem`
    Returns:
      Current shouldSaveValue value. Default value is true

  - ### setTextBoxStyle

    public MiniDateRangeItem setTextBoxStyle(String textBoxStyle)
    Base CSS class name for a form item's text box element.

    See `FormItemStyling` for an overview of formItem styling, and the `CompoundFormItem_skinning` discussion for special skinning considerations.

    If the `textBoxStyle` is changed at runtime, `updateState()` must be called to update the visual state of this item.

    Overrides:
      `setTextBoxStyle` in class `StaticTextItem`
    Parameters:
      `textBoxStyle` - New textBoxStyle value. Default value is "textItem"
    Returns:
      `MiniDateRangeItem` instance, for chaining setter calls
    See Also:
      - `FormItem.setCellStyle(java.lang.String)`
      - `FormItemBaseStyle`
      - `FormItem Styling`

  - ### getTextBoxStyle

    public String getTextBoxStyle()
    Base CSS class name for a form item's text box element.

    See `FormItemStyling` for an overview of formItem styling, and the `CompoundFormItem_skinning` discussion for special skinning considerations.

    If the `textBoxStyle` is changed at runtime, `updateState()` must be called to update the visual state of this item.

    Overrides:
      `getTextBoxStyle` in class `StaticTextItem`
    Returns:
      Current textBoxStyle value. Default value is "textItem"

  - ### setToDateOnlyPrefix

    public MiniDateRangeItem setToDateOnlyPrefix(String toDateOnlyPrefix)
    The text to prepend to the formatted date when only a `toDate` is supplied.
    Parameters:
      `toDateOnlyPrefix` - New toDateOnlyPrefix value. Default value is "Before"
    Returns:
      `MiniDateRangeItem` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getToDateOnlyPrefix

    public String getToDateOnlyPrefix()
    The text to prepend to the formatted date when only a `toDate` is supplied.
    Returns:
      Current toDateOnlyPrefix value. Default value is "Before"

  - ### hasAdvancedCriteria

    public Boolean hasAdvancedCriteria()
    Overridden to return true: dateRangeItems always generate AdvancedCriteria.

      `hasAdvancedCriteria` in class `FormItem`
    Returns:
      true
    See Also:
      - `Criteria Editing`

  - ### setDefaultProperties

    public static void setDefaultProperties(MiniDateRangeItem miniDateRangeItemProperties)
    Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

    Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

    Parameters:
      `miniDateRangeItemProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
    See Also:
      - `SGWTProperties`

  - ### setFromDate

    public void setFromDate(Date fromDate)
    Initial value for the "from" date. Sets the `fromDate` for this DateRangeItem.
    Parameters:
      `fromDate` - the date from which this item should start it's range. Default value is today

  - ### getFromDate

    public Date getFromDate()
    Initial value for the "from" date.
    Returns:
      java.util.Date

  - ### setToDate

    public void setToDate(Date toDate)
    Initial value for the "to" date. Sets the `toDate` for this DateRangeItem.
    Parameters:
      `toDate` - the date at which this item should end it's range. Default value is today

  - ### getToDate

    public Date getToDate()
    Initial value for the "to" date.
    Returns:
      java.util.Date

  - ### getValue

    public DateRange getValue()
    Retrieves the current value of this dateRangeItem. The return value is a `DateRange` object that excludes start and end values if they aren't set.
    Overrides:
      `getValue` in class `FormItem`
    Returns:
      the current value of this item

  - ### setValue

    public void setValue(DateRange value)
    Sets the value for this dateRangeItem. The value parameter is a `DateRange` object that optionally includes both start and end values.
    Parameters:
      `value` - the new value for this item

  - ### setCriterionGetter

    public void setCriterionGetter(FormItemCriterionGetter getter)
    The default `getCriterion()` implementation returns the Criterion entered in the fields shown in the `rangeDialog`.

    If both dates are entered, a Criterion with an "and" `operator` and both "greaterOrEqual" and "lessOrEqual" sub-criteria will be returned. If either date is omitted, only the "greaterOrEqual" (from date) or "lessOrEqual" (to date) Criterion is returned.

    Overrides:
      `setCriterionGetter` in class `FormItem`
    Parameters:
      `getter` - provides a method to get a criterion object based on this field's current edited value(s).
