Desktop vs Mobile - Date Picker

This is a fairly minor annoyance, but one that I get feedback on from respondents somewhat frequently.

On a mobile device when you click in a field to enter a date, a date picker window pops up and lets you tap on the calendar to select a date while, on desktop, you have to manually type in a date.

Manually entering a date is one of those things that everyone just puts up with, but no one really likes.

It would be really great to have a date picker window pop up on desktop as well or, alternatively, have a button that says something to the effect of “select today’s date”.

I honestly don’t pay a lot of attention to what day it is beyond monday, tuesday, wednesday, etc. - I just wrote 2021 on a document yesterday…  That little calendar popup saves me a lot of mental energy when needing to enter a date on a form like this and would help to improve user experience.

Thanks!

Hi @Jake Charlson Apologies for missing this last week! Thank you for sharing - I’ll pass this along to product. 😀

Hi guys - anyone figured out how to disable this date picker?

Hi @Elliotrorororo I don’t believe there is a way to disable this since it’s based on the browser, but @mathio might be able to confirm.

@Liz I believe a date picker for desktop (native or custom) could be considered as a feature request. Please forward this to the respective team.

Hmmm we have tried with every browser and its the same thing?? and only on android pads?

Hi @Elliotrorororo Every browser shows the date picker differently.
