Make use of the new BirthDate selector #695

Closed nonprofittechy closed 3 years ago

nonprofittechy commented 3 years ago

We did a lot of research to find good models of date inputs, and this is what we landed on.

Goals: it is easier for people to type a date than to choose from a dropdown if it is a date they have memorized. But 3 free-text entry fields lead to errors--people will not know which field is for the month, for example. Dropdown month helps with correct use.

See the Gmail signup date selector as an example of this style:

I think we can keep tweaking it--good points on labels and width of inputs. But currently the calendar selector leads to many errors, and one person reporting they couldn't use the form at all. See: https://github.com/SuffolkLITLab/docassemble-MAVirtualCourt/issues/683

But I'd like to get this in the upcoming release. I think even if it's not perfect, it's a big improvement for usability.

I'll fix this before merge.

Re removing Date label--we can do alternate text, but the field needs a label to look correct. The spacing is very odd without a label.
