When my users are done typing in one date segment, I want the focus to pass to the next one automatically. 

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are piloting our application and repeatedly get the same feedback from our users: they find entering information in the date and time inputs annoying.

The reason for this is that they have to enter a date (say 1 december 2024) by entering:

• Day (1)
• Press /
• Month (12)
• Press /
• Year (2023)

Instead, they would like to enter a date in one go, say

• "01122023" should resolve to 1 december 2023.

• "0112" should resolve to 1 december 2024, because year is missing and we can then assume that we use the current year.

 

Likewise, they would enter times like "1005" for "10:05". Now they have to enter ":" to go to the minutes field.

 

We would like to respond to their feedback, but don't know to implement this. Is this something that Kendo supports? If not, we are willing to pay to give this feature request priority. Could you help us out?

 

Regards,

Peter

In some cases, a null value is valid for the DatePicker. However, if the user types an invalid (or partial date) the value of the component is also null. In these two cases the null values must not be treated equally, but I have no way to understand which is which. 

It would be great if KendoReact had a `WeekRangePicker` component which behaves similar to the native html element input type="week"

I use the DatePicker extensively in our application as people are entering in weather data. They often want to change the date by a day or two, so they find it annoying to open up the whole calendar to go back a single day. I think that the ideal UX would be to have the equivalent of the Spin Buttons on the DatePicker that exist on the DateInput. So, there would be the calendar for the date picker and the spinners so users can choose what works best for them.
