Guidance
When to use
Use the date input when your user flow does not require separate fields for month, day, and year.
Use the date input for most dates, particularly memorable dates like date of birth, marriage date, health coverage start or end dates, or income start date.
When to consider alternatives
Don't use if users are entering a date within the last year or a future date. Instead, use the date picker.
Usage
Allow users to have flexibility in entering the date, such as allowing one-digit numbers with or without "0" prior to the number, or entering a date with or without slashes to separate month, day, and year.
Users will be able to enter a variety of date formats that automatically format to the correct date format of MM/DD/YYYY. This change happens once the form field loses focus. For example, a user enters a date as "4122020" and it changes to "04/01/2020" once focus leaves the date input.
