Date Picker - Allow partial selection for range mode

[dev-idkwhoami]

Allowing the user to either select just the start date or a range in a single field would be quite useful.

Specific example (my use case):
A user selects the "date range" in which events will be repeated in set intervals (weekly, monthly, ...). But nobody wants to hop through a bunch of years to make sure it doesn't run out at some point.

I am aware of the "All Time" preset but here the user can not choose the start date.

Since this "change" would be quite disruptive for normal use of the date range picker, I believe an extra "attribute" e.g. allow-partial would do the trick.

Alternatively there is the option to use inputs for the date range picker, but unfortunately that seems to be only available using the "trigger icon" not as the neat looking buttons.

If I missed some other way please let me know ^^

I just tried the "two inputs" way, thinking because of the two inputs it would work but it has the same issue, if the end of the DateRange object is not present it won't even show the start date.

@dev-idkwhoami thanks for the request! There is already an open issue #1678 for this, so I'm going to close this feature request. Can you please add your support to that issue by commenting your needs on it? Thanks!

Re-opening this feature request instead of the issue as we've looked into this and it's not something we can easily add. As such it's not something we are going to do at the moment.
