I agree. There are a few different ways that we could/should allow managing dates. These could be different interfaces, or interface options... depending on how different they are.
Also, any of the last three could have an icon/button that opens up the calendar chooser as an dropdown. |

A nice in-between version would be to allow you to type in values in the dropdowns for day/month/year 🤔 Our dropdowns technically support "input" on the "preview" bit as well, so that is a possibility |

What about single input with mask depending on local date format? i.e. MM-DD-YYYY for US and MM.DD.YYYY for Europe? |

Yes! this is what i came across today. I'm using the time field for project/work logging and would be nice if i could type "1" or "2:30" directly in the field. |

Lets say the interface for date/datetime is not directus like right now. I am also looking for alternatives right now, https://flatpickr.js.org/ looks interesting for me. |

Instead of adding it as a separate interface, I'm wondering if we should simply replace the current datetime interface with this browser based approach! Thoughts @benhaynes? |

Yes, I think we should use that for the system / core interface, potentially keeping the current drop-downs as an interface option... but we don't have to if that makes things overly complex. |

Ok, let me have a look at combining the two. Regarding browser support, this native datepicker feature should be supported by all the browsers other than IE which apparently still has a few % of the market... It should degrade gracefully to a type=text. But I haven't tested this. What are your thoughts on handling this use case? I guess we could switch to the current dropdowns for IE as well? |

Directus itself doesn't run at all on IE11, and we have no intention to add support either, so that should be totally fine! |

In our case we use dates as day-month-year format as well as just year. And we work with medieval dates, so we need to enter dates manually. In current date-picker interface i can not see the way just to pick year with out month and day. |

It's very difficult to enter dates of birth |

It's rather annoying to look for day and month in the list. It would be nice to add ability to enter date manually :)
