required: true does not work properly with date fields.

[peterboorsma]

When adding the required: true option to a date field causes Bolt to behave unexpectedly. The date editor keeps popping up when trying to save the record.
See this screencast for an example:

My contenttype:

        date_to:
            type: date
            default: "first day of this month"
            required: true

Bolt 4.0.0. RC35

Thanks!

For reference, it's related to this: flatpickr/flatpickr#892

[bobdenotter]

Re-opening. This is not fixed, as the Flatpicker component is a particularly stubborn little piece of software.

Is this meant to be fixed in RC41? I am still having problems with it

Issue occurs in Firefox and Safari

More info:
My date field has required: true but I can't save, no matter what date I pick

Possible temp workaround:
Once you select a date from the picker, the input lets you temporarily type a date manually, if you type something like: mm/dd/yyyy the record can be saved

@peterboorsma is this working correctly for you? it seems it's still an issue on 4.1.4 for me, I can pick a date when I first create a record, but if later I come back and clear it and pick a new date, I can't never save the record again, unless I do the workaround I mentioned above.

The problem does not seem to be solved in Bolt 4.1.4. It shows exactly the same behaviour as described initially in this issue.

Reopened because the issue isn't solved...
