Hello,
We've been experiencing a weird behavior with the date picker element. We wanted to have an auto advancing cursor that moves from date -> month -> year without the user having to manually press the arrow keys.
We based our solution off this previous method in your JQuery element. However the React element has some buggy behavior when it comes to updating existing date values in the input that makes this method impossible. (the functionality works correctly in the JQuery version of the library, just not React)
When updating an existing value in the box from a single digit value (e.g. 01, 02, 03, 04, but not 10, 11, 12) instead of overwriting the existing value it appends the new number the user entered. For example, if a 01, is in the box and the user types 2 it becomes 12, when it should have become 02.
This can be especially confusing for the user when working with named dates (e.g. "Jan", "Feb", "Dec", etc) since they do not see the numbers involved. If the user is updating Jan, and they press 2. It should update to Feb not Dec...
I've attached a GIF of the problem below as I've described
Thanks for the quick reply Konstantin.
I would expect it to behave as the day input does in the same situation. If the input box is refocused the first character that the user inputs should be the only one considered in the input (e.g. existing contents do not apply). This would still allow the user to select months like Nov Dec, as long as they type (12, or 11 without unfocusing the input in-between typing those two characters)
My GIF should display the expected functionality
