Hi All,

In the BPMN Humantask UI, in certain task completion forms, we need to add
the date picker to get the user input.

Following are the options available

1) Use the JQueryUI library to generate the date picker (via adding
JQueryUI JS library).
2) Use the HTML 5 date picker html tag ( <input type="date"/> ).

If we use the 2nd option then the date picker will only work with HTML 5
supportive browsers and this will finally return the date format
as"yyyy-mm-dd", but the backend need the input as "dd/mm/yyyy" format. So
we may have to again reformat the initial input via a JS script.

Where as JQuery UI will support in any browser and give us the option to
format the date using the inbuilt method $.datepicker.formatDate(
"yy-mm-dd", inputDate ). If we use JQuery UI in future we might be able to
use this library in displaying graphs, etc.

Please let us know your feedback on what is the best option to go ahead
with.

Thank you  & Best regards,
