==================
Hi everybody, 
I have this text array which I have modified by adding some dropdowns and the function to hide or show rows as explained in this forum in other posts, now, I am facing the challenge of the best way to insert dates (only month and year) in this kind of arrays... I read that the datepicker had a lot of errors and maybe some form of regex is the best, but I have not found the solution, how could I ask month and year with number without being so problematic? I attach the lss with the array

Ps. Currently those fields accept only numbers, but it is very confusing to put something like 062022 (for today 06/2022) without any hint or signal.

Hi,
here you find a long thread about this (with a working sample)
Here another one

Only the first two columns are of interest.
But I recommend a different way, easier for the respondent. Text input with validation / mask input.

Here an example with two different inputmasks. You have to add the validation by regex.

By the way:

I read that the datepicker had a lot of errors

Where did you read that?

A lot of thanks!! It works perfectly.

I read about the problems with the calendar in mobile versions... and at that moment actually, I can't put them in my array, but the text input with validation / mask input it's perfect.
thanks again
