Hi @P Manju maha lakshmi ,

In Reactive Web, if you're using:

<input type="date"> 

the behavior of the control is determined by the browser and operating system. On most mobile devices (Android and iOS), tapping the input will always open the native date picker, and there is no standard HTML attribute or JavaScript API that can disable it while keeping type="date".

If your requirement is to let users manually type the date (for example, to make year entry easier), you have a few alternatives:

1. Use type="text" instead of type="date"
   • Apply an input mask (e.g., dd/MM/yyyy or yyyy-MM-dd).
   • Validate the entered value before submitting.
   • This gives users full control to type the date.
2. Use the OutSystems Date Picker widget
   • Depending on your UX requirements, you can configure a custom date selection experience instead of relying on the native browser control.
3. Provide separate inputs (Day / Month / Year)
   • This is a common approach when users frequently need to enter dates far in the past (e.g., Date of Birth).

Unfortunately, if you keep input type="date", you cannot prevent the native picker from opening on mobile devices. This is browser-controlled behavior and is not something OutSystems or HTML can override.

Hope this will help you.
