The date picker that comes standard with PowerApps is super clunky. Are there any different date picker options? I would just like to type in the date rather then selecting the month, then the year and then the date. Is third party the only way to go?
I created a years of experience app and it is just frustrating me beyond belief.
Hello @wherdzik ,
PowerApps offers the classic and modern datepicker.
Classic:
Modern:
If neither satisfy you, you can still create a component and develop a datepicker that suits you.
Thank you, I enabled modern controls. But it still will not allow me to type in a date.
There is an official documentation about it:

Although I can't seem to find the setting in my app, so I fear it's already outdated. Modern controls should appear in the "controls" panel here:
And here:
Hi @wherdzik
With both the classic and modern date controls, there's a property called 'IsEditable'.
If you set this to true, users can type a date into the date picker.
That was easy, thank you for letting me learn something new today.
You're welcome @wherdzik - glad to help.
