Description
Please adjust the date pickers to support keyboard input as well.
Currently, the date picker only works if a date is actually selected via the calendar view.
If you frequently need to select dates far in the future or the past, the process quickly becomes inconvenient or even unusable (for instance, we work with years spanning several centuries, which is why we cannot use "Forms" at all).
Please modify the functionality so that the date can also be entered directly via the keyboard.
The date field in the Tables app is an excellent example of how this could be implemented.
Thank you very much.

Research direction
Start by locating the date-picker component used by Forms and compare it with the date field in the Tables app, which is given as the implementation example. Verify the current calendar-only behavior, then make direct keyboard entry work for dates far in the past and future and confirm both input methods remain usable.
