Current behavior 😯

Is it possible to disable selecting of current date in the controlled DatePicker v6 if value is null?

I've tried to set defaultCalendarMonth with new Date(0), but unfortunately it changes just date in the title and doesn't affect on the picker.

I noticed several other related issues with default selected date, but all of them ask to change this date. In my case, I don't need to select anything until the user selects something.

Thanks

Could you please elaborate on what would be your desired result?
Do I understand you correctly, that you'd want the calendar picker header to be empty until some value is selected? 🤔

In which case it looks like this would be a duplicate of #6653 which already has a pending PR, which needs a bit more priority. 🙈

From what I understand, the issue here is that May is selected
In which case, you are looking for the disableHighlightToday prop
See this demo

But if it's the header, I have to restart the work, I'm just waiting for the design rework to be merged 👍

Hi @flaviendelangle and @LukasTy ,
Actually, I need both of your mentions.
I need to deselect current month and disableHighlightToday prop really helps with this, but May is still focused.
And also I need to have an empty header if no date is selected. Or even better to have ability to specify a custom text in that case.

I need to deselect current month and disableHighlightToday prop really helps with this, but May is still focused.

Improvements to defaultCalendarMonth and the ability to provide a referenceValue, which would be used by pickers when no value is present is in the works (the fields components will already support it in the next release).
Once referenceValue is supported, your use case should be handled in regards to not focusing the current month, but Jan would be focused (the first month).

And also I need to have an empty header if no date is selected. Or even better to have ability to specify a custom text in that case.

Overriding the header will be supported once #7784 is released. Feel free to follow the mentioned PR or referenced issue to be notified when the feature will be available.

@flaviendelangle Do you think we should keep this issue open until both features are released and we double-check if all the OP requirements are supported? 🤔

Fine for me 👍
