Topic: How do I allow the datepicker icon to pull up the calendar and return the date selected to the input field as text?

Expected Behavior

Right now, I have the datepicker class on the input field, but I'd like to have the calendar icon pull up the calendar modal and return the selected date to the input field. Is this something I'm able to do? I don't see the option for the icon in your documentation.

Actual behavior

If I add the class "datepicker" to the div wrapping the calendar icon, I am able to have the calendar popup, but the selected date is not returned to the user via the input field.

Hi there,

Currently there is no such option to trigger datepicker from an icon. We'll add it to our list of ideas.

Best regards
