Alternative Date Selection

Hello everyone!

I'm using the Date Picker object but it is very annoying because I have to select the dates by clicking... it looks like you cannot search by texting on your keyboard.

Do you know antoher way to select dates in your app?

like 2 text boxes where you insert the start date and the end date... how can I add a solution like this one?
what should I have to write as expression?

Thanks to all!!

You can use a standard filter for your dates, same as any other field, which allows searching. You can also make a selection from the Selections screen when you specifically need to type in stuff, but otherwise use a date picker.

If you wanted to, you could use two variables to store a start and end date and then use a button to apply these to the date field (or apply them to your expressions using set analysis), but I'd advise against this approach - it seems much clunkier than just picking dates from a picker or using search from a filter and the set analysis option might cause poor performance.
