Description
Summary 💡
When users paste a date or time string, the field automatically recognizes the input and matches the string with the given sections of the field.
The field can ideally distinguish different date separators and even date formats, for example, pasting a MM/DD into MMM d.
The field ideally recognizes partial dates if the field "starts with" it.

Motivation 🔦
