Hello 👋,  
I’m looking for a way to enable manual date entry in WeWeb’s datepicker. Although WeWeb has no plans to update this feature so soon.  
I was wondering if anyone has developed a custom component to address this limitation.

Any ideas or workarounds you could share would be greatly appreciated!

a normal input of type date allows manual entry and it’s already available as an option in the form input.

it may be what you are looking for.

right, that’s the standard date input of the browser, it will be different from browser to browser.

Thanks a lot @dorilama, for your help.  
It will be better if Weweb allowed manual entry in the Date picker 😌
