User keyboard input into Date Picker

UI Builder
1

Hi, the date picker component is great but can be a bit slow if someone is trying to move quickly. Is there an option to allow someone to type into the field? Right now when I click on it the picker UI is immediately opened. It would be great if someone could type into it as well if they want to move faster. Is this possible?

The double calendar here does appear to allow you to type into it, but it’s implemented solely as a double calendar. The React component it is based off of appears to have a default version that is just one date picker. Would it be possible to expose an option in that component allowing the user to choose to use it to choose a single date?

Hi @James_Hereford ,

Unfortunately it is not possible to do that with “Date Picker” component.
You can achieve this goal by using “Input with Mask” component from Marketplace. In such case you will need to setup mask and add logic which will parse entered string to date.

This is perfect! I hadn’t noticed this component in the marketplace. I’ll have several places where I can use this.
