Needs research for how we want this to work. What are the requirements?
Ben: Can put in the separator based on the format.
How does paste work if there are separators already in the date?

Fixed. Ready for testing.

Now it uses the native date picker and reverts to old textbox only if the browser does not support the date pickers.

This should not interfere with pasting. Pasting is also supported, but only if pasting whole and well-formatted date at once (e.x 10/10/2020 or 1111-11-11). The value you are pasting must be properly formatted and values like 10111213 are not supported. (There is no point in trying to guess whether 10111213 means 1011/12/13 or 10/11/1213).

The issue of the browser's date format not matching the database's format was partially fixed in 6a014f1 and e967f4e by showing the database format in a tooltip on mouseover.
