[Bug]: Share-Link Creation-Form Expiration-Date Datepicker displays wrong Default-Value

[Finnlife]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

If you set the link_defaultExpDays / internal_defaultExpDays to a value (lets say 7) and set the shareapi_expire_after_n_days to 30,
the Front-End sets the day in 30 days as the default-value of the Datepicker while creating a new Share-Link.

Maybe an issue with the default-value of the Picker?
https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/2e10c9431068c43432a496d607667b0595c6cdae/apps/files_sharing/src/components/SharingEntryLink.vue#L495C90-L495C90

I don't know how to pass the configured values to the Front-End, else I would've tried that.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set the default Sharing-Link-Expiration-Value to 30
2. Set link_defaultExpDays and internal_defaultExpDays to 7 as described in the wiki
3. Try to create a new Share-Link in the Web-UI on a File or Directory.
4. See which Date is set as default in the Datepicker of the Expiration.
   It's set in 30 days, not in 7.

Expected behavior

As decribed in the wiki this should enable a default and max situation.
If internal_defaultExpDays and link_defaultExpDays where set to 7 and the shareapi_expire_after_n_days is still 30, the default value should be 7 days and the Share should be configured with a max Expiration-Date in 30 days in the Datepicker.

Additional info

I think the link_defaultExpDays / internal_defaultExpDays value need to be passed to the Frontend if they are set.
And the Datepicker should display a value calculated by this Config-Values.

I can confirm this problem, I can't create a share with an expiration date... always 1900 is set. In NC 27.1.6 and 28.0.1 tested. It is not possible to create a share.

I try to set the value to "01.02.2024" but its not working with the keyboard
