The Problem
Have you ever wanted an inline version of the Gravity Forms date picker instead of the default drop down version? I tend to have issues with autocomplete in desktop browsers, and the experience on mobile can be a little strange when the keyboard pops up after tapping on the Date field.
The Solution
Replacing the date picker with an inline version solves both these problems. To do so, simply install and activate GF Limit Dates, and on the Perks tab of a Date field check the Enable Inline Date Picker checkbox.
The Result
That’s all there is to it. Your date picker drops the input box and goes inline, thus avoiding autocomplete headaches and gaining a better mobile experience.

Hey. Im curious about this feature. I have one really essential question before puchasing this.
Am I able to use gravity forms datepicker_options_pre_init -filter with start date field the same way I can use it with date picker field? Specifically I need to disable certain dates like in this script:
https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_datepicker_options_pre_init/
/////////// gform.addFilter( ‘gform_datepicker_options_pre_init’, function( optionsObj, formId, fieldId ) { if ( formId == 12 && fieldId == 14 ) { var disabledDays = [’06/15/2014′, ’07/01/2014′, ’07/15/2014′]; optionsObj.beforeShowDay = function(date) { var checkdate = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate(‘mm/dd/yy’, date); return [disabledDays.indexOf(checkdate) == -1]; }; } return optionsObj; }); ///////////
Thank you in advance!!
Hi Jones,
That’s exactly what it does. The GP Limit Dates Perk allows you to do all that you mentioned. Here is the support document on GP Limit Dates with all the features it offers.
Thanks for the quick reply. I meant to ask is it possible to bring those disabled dates from outside gravity forms as a array or so? In (exact) same manner than in the script? I have those dates stored elsewhere and would make updating easier if I didn’t have to make them again manually. Thanks!
Hi Jones, We do not have a solution to import dates from an external source. All Dates limits are handled from the GP Limit Dates Perk UI
