Hey Elliot,

I was wondering, can u create a field like the date field. But with the option to select multiple dates at once?

Hope you can reply if this might be already out there or if you are planning to make this.

Kind regards

Hi @R3dDevil

Perhaps you could give a scenario where these multiple dates would be used?
For now, you can use the date picker in conjunction with the repeater field add-on. This will allow you to repeat the date picker field.

Thanks

The repeater field is exactly what I am doing now, but takes a lot of work.

We have a client that gives trainings and for example a training is 7 days, but not consequtive days.

So if i could select 7 different days in 1 date field, that would be awesome and much less work.

Hi @R3dDevil

Thanks for the clarification. yes, this wuld be great for your workflow, but it seems that the jQuery date picker does not support multiple selections.

Thanks

Hi @R3dDevil

Thanks for the follow up. Your completely right, it is possible with some simple tweaks!

I also got a thread from another user with the same link today!

I’ve added this to the to-do and will be adding in multiple selection support soon.

Cheers

Hello,

Thank you for the great plugin!

I’m looking for multiple datepicker too. It is easy to use the plugin for the events. Yes, I know there is a lot of plugins but with the extra fields I don’t need to use extra plugin to modify events as I want.

Usually events continue 2-3 dates or week. It would be very helpful to have the choice to pick more then 1 day.

I thought to add 2 pickers or text field or margin version but it doesn’t work because I want to show the events by filter of extra field.

The few screens are attached:
