The Date field lets users send a preferred date within their form submission by inserting the date manually and also offering a drop-down calendar to choose the date from there. The date chosen in the calendar will be put into the bar in the proper order. This is extremely practical for reservation-based businesses like restaurants and hotels.
You can refer two samples below: Regular Date field and Customed Date field
