How do I format the date filter field?

[Ray]

Hi,

I have a date filter field but due to the width of the filter cell, the placeholder "dd/mm/yyyy" is truncated. Is there any way to format this date filter cell so that 

1) I can word wrap the placeholder to fully display it?

2) Or I can increate the width of the filter cell so that I can display the entire "dd/mm/yyyy"?

 

Best Regards,

Hello Ray,

As the DatePicker component uses a native input internally, so wrapping the placeholder text on multiple lines is not an option. This is due to HTML specifics - inputs can contain only single line texts. Also, there is no mechanism to change the rendering of the built-in DatePicker filter cell to display a textarea or a contenteditable div.

The best option you have is to set a width of the column that will fit the place holder. Here's an example.

Let me know if that would work for you.
