This looks more like a bug than a configuration issue. Whenever I use the compact date picker component, it renders as a readonly text box. This happens when this is placed on a panel or inside a grid column. What is the point if this is acting as a readonly text box?

Hi Agustin,

I will try the chat widget. But for completeness, the issue seems to be with the simple date component itself. I have created a blank page and added the Date component on there. I did not define any further properties and there is no data binding and yet when I go to Preview, the date picker appears as readonly.

maybe you can use a custom field and set date or date picker inside? but yes, the field date in the datagrid option is static data.

Hi Debugs, that element is simply to display the date, not a picker. You can use the Date and Time picker for that or an input element and set type: Date 🙂
