Date picker - disable pop-up calendar on autofocus

[rchampagneca]

I've got a form with a date_picker as the very first field of a form. I wish to disable the automatic pop-up calendar on the form's entry and enable it only on field input. I've looked through the Bootstrap date_picker_options , but none seem to fit the bill.

• Is there a Backpack attribute that can achieved this ?
• Or, should I rely on a custom script ?

Regards.

Hey @rchampagneca

I think you are looking for: https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/options.html#showonfocus

Let me know.

Hello @pxpm,

I had tried the 'showOnFocus' => false date_picker_option. However, it disables the pop-up calendar altogether.

I've solved this using the config parameter in /config/backpack/operations/update.php :

// when the page loads, put the cursor on the first input?
'autoFocusOnFirstField' => false,
