Change date field to input type=date

Labels

Currently a date field generates an html input of type='text'. However I want a real date input - that is an input with type='date'.

Is this somehow hookable, or do I have to create my own field? As described in "Add a new field"?

Thanks, Daniel

You can certainly try it. Keep in mind that date input types are only supported by HTML5 and not every browser supports them. Older browsers will render them as text.

Also, WordPress stores the content as text. So even if you use the date type as an input, you'll have to handle the conversions to display them in views or reports yourself.
