The Date component sends cursor to the end of field
Hello
Is there a way to prevent, when the user is entering a date on a field that uses a property defined with the UI Component pxDateTime (User can select from the calendar or Text Input), that the cursor doesn't jump to the end for every value is being entered?
Attaching an image to provide better understanding of the situation.
My thoughts is pega doing some commit for every key enter by the user and that's why jumps to the end. Our users wants to not have this, but not sure if we can implement something that can remove this action.
Thank you in Advance

@Adriana0602 Hi , You can control it from the section, In the Date field presentation tab there is a option "Allow Text Entry", mark it as NO. Please refer the image . Hope it helps.

@KiruthikaA Thank you so much for your answer.
Right now, the option is set to "Yes" for Allow text entry.
If the option is change it to be No, I won't allow the user to type manually the date, which is an action the user wants to be able to keep doing it.
I understand, believe me, that the idea should be the user selecting a date from the calendar, but they want to manipulate only the day or the month, or the day and month, and just use the calendar for situations when they have to change the date a few weeks ago. Kind of lazy, - yes.
Just wondering if there is anything else, like .js that we can change to keep the action for the user to do the "Text Input + calendar" and not moving the cursor to the end, every time the user changes a date or a month manually.
Thank you!
