Provides a text box for entry of a date. An icon next to the text box provides a link to a pop-up calendar, which can also be used to enter the date value.
Options
If you use the default dateː The value can be an ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) or NOW, which displays the actual date. Caution: Even if you do not specify the time in the default date, the time is displayed when the option Show time is active.
