This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
As an author, I am unable to use the datepicker in a front-end form for the "autoresponder" post type. Although I can open the datepicker, selecting a date does not insert it into the field, and a console error appears. However, this works fine when logged in as an admin.
Solution:
After testing on a minimal installation, I identified a function in a custom plugin that was causing the issue by redirecting authors to the front end when they accessed the backend. Disabling this function resolved the problem, allowing the datepicker to work as expected for authors.

As an author, I can create and edit data in a frontend form for a post type called "autoresponder." Although I can click on the datepicker icon and select a date, the selected date is not inserted into the date field, and an error appears in the console (screenshot attached).
However, when logged in as an Admin, the datepicker in the same form functions correctly and inserts the date as expected.
I have author-level access for this functionality.
Here is the link to the overview page for authors' autoresponders: hidden link. At the end of the list, there is a button to add an autoresponder.
