Date picking in registration calendar

Hi, I have little question about datepicker in calendar located at registration. When customer adds tickets to his/her basket and moves on to enterint data there is date picker what we are using for customers birthdate. But there is a little design flaw in this. If user opens calendar, clicks on a date, then the calendar closes. He/she has to open calendar again, pick a month, then it closes and again open it and choose a year. But if you start from the other end (first year, then month and then a date) it’s all okay.

So my question would be, is it possible to stop somehow calendar closing, as this has made pretty few false-positive birthdates in our database.

Hi there,

Can you link me to an event I can register onto to view this?

I’m not able to reproduce with the same steps above, if I select a date, then click away, then click again and select a month the datepicker shows as it should and allows me to select a date. I can select both the month, year and specific date without an issue.

Here you can see how it closes the calendar every time after making selection in particular order.

Hi there,

I don’t have access to view the above and have requested.

If its a video showing the problem it likely won’t help as I’ll need to view the scripts loading on the page.

Oh, ok, I see what you are doing and no, there’s no way to prevent that with the current date picker.

By clicking on a specific date you are selecting that date so the date picker closes, it’s not expected that you would select a date, then specify a month and select a date, then specify a year for the date you selected. Generally, it would be expected that you select the month and year that you want to display in the date picker, then select a specific date within that month and year.

I’m not aware of a date picker that works the way you are trying to use it without separate fields for each element but I’ll check with our developers on this.
