Describe the issue

Hi, with old "datetimepicker", all my input was initialized for italian standard:

format: 'dd/MM/yyyy'

Some user using "calendar icon" to select a date from calendar picker, other users manual write inside input to speedup form compiling. For example, if a user need to select christmas day of year 2023, simply write:

251223

inside input field!

With old datetimepicker it was automatic recognized, on focus out, and became '25/12/2023'

Now with new tempus dominus (v6) it seems this very good function is missing and I get:

`TD: Custom Date Format: Unable to parse provided input: 251223, format: dd/MM/yyyy`

. Any change to restore this feature? Thanks

I am no longer supporting this library for free.

The error is correct. The "date" that was entered is not in the correct format. Previous versions used momentjs to guess the input when the format was incorrect. v5+ doesn't use moment and therefore doesn't try to make guesses. I'd suggest some kind of input validator or mask
