    Hi @vicvickyrox

    Both Contact Form 7 and Material design use the browser’s built-in date input field. Safari doesn’t have a calendar dropdown, so it’s up to the user to type out the date. This is the choice of the Material Components team at Google.

    The best thing to do is just add help="Use datepicker or enter in YYYY-MM-DD format" (or something along those lines) to your md-date shortcode.

    Thanks,
    Angus

    Hi Angus,

    Thank you so much for replying. I have tried to type it out myself following the format, but the form does not accept it. The error stated is “One or more fields have an error. Please check and try again.”

    I have tried different variations of typing the date in but it does not work. Please do advise, thank you.

    Hi @vicvickyrox,

    The correct format is yyyy-mm-dd. I’ve confirmed it works on your form in Safari.

    Thanks,
    Angus
