The date field offers predefined select fields for day, month and year. This is great to make sure the entered date is correctly parsed but it’s really cumbersome if you need to transfer dates from another source (e. g. a different service or just a plain Word document).
It would be nice if the date field offered a paste option that tries to parse the content given in the clipboard and set the date field accordingly it the date was parseable:
command+v
/ctrl+v
could be catched.paste
button could be shown in the field label.
