Change the calendar field to a date text field

How to change a calendar field to a date text field in ChronoForms.

Overview

The problem is that the calendar control requires multi-step selection, which is less convenient than a simple date text field.
Replace the calendar field with a normal text field, then enable the Input Type behavior and set it to Date. Optionally, use the HTML attributes behavior to set min and max date limits.

I have a membership application form that contain a birth date field. The calendar control requires the user to select the year, then scroll to the right month and then pick on the date. It would be simpler to present the user with something like MM/DD/YYYY for them to simply fill-out. Is that possible?

Hi Ben

Sure, you can have a normal text field and enable the Input Type behavior and set it to Date:
