Add DATE as ApplicationCommandOptionType #2706
Description
Description
Currently Slash Commands only allow these option types. It'd be extremely useful to allow users to be able to select dates using a UI (similar to the one in Search).
Why This is Needed
For me personally, I am building a project tracker which includes setting deadlines. The bot uses the deadline date to send reminder messages to the users (if they haven't updated their progress at the end of that day). It'd be really easy for users to select deadlines from a calendar based UI.
Moreover, this feature can be used for setting reminders, recording events etc.
Alternatives Considered
Alternatives include asking users to put the date in MM-DD-YYYY format in the STRING option. It isn't very intuitive and requires a lot of validation logic in the backend.
Another option would be to redirect them to a website but that's a whole another story.
