Every single date field should auto | Ideas for Raiser's Edge NXT

Every single date field should auto populate slashes /

If we type 01012026 and hit tab- the field should autopopulate 01/01/2026

This needs to happen in every single available date field in webview.

Should add that MMDDYY + Tab should autopopulate YYYY in every field too. Once date is registered arrow keys up and down should manipulate day.

Yes and in some we can enter the day in the current month but not all. Consistency is important to building trust.

Yes please! The date field should work the same everywhere. In addition to how the date is entered, users can populate today's date by pressing the space bar in some date fields (great feature!) but not others. Users are learning muscle memory for web view data entry, and that is difficult when the date fields are inconsistent.
