Problem:

I need to quickly enter dates into cred forms. with the date picker it takes some time to get the date updated.

Is there a way to change the date picker input which is used by the cred form?

Solution:

The custom date field created with Types plugin will store value in timestamp format, I don't think your users can input the timestamp value quickly.

As a workaround, you can create another single line field for user inputting value in date format, after user submit the form, use action hook cred_save_data to trigger a PHP function, for example:
