Date Entry on Mobile Devices

Me again with a question on this app i'm working on for the clinic. So far things are working out pretty well, but one complaint is how dates are entered in the app. It's nice and easy in a web browser, but on a mobile device, it's a rather unpleasant experience

Is there an option to enable the ability to type in dates instead of having to painfully select with the phone UI? Considering that most of the patients are elderly, the time it takes to scroll through the years list then still have to click multiple times to get to the right month adds up. I'd love to be able to just type in the date like i can in the browser mockup of the tablet mode.

Thanks

The date "picker" is provided by the browser (for the web app) or the operation system (for the native app), not by AppSheet itself. There is no way within AppSheet to affect the appearance or behavior of the date picker. Same for the time picker, and the date+time picker.
