Question

When I touch a field requiring numeric input (date) put up a numeric keyboard.

Hi, Glenn --

I'm guessing this is along the same lines as your post here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1157448/put-up-a-keyboard-with-an-and-a-when-logging-in

You might consider combining them into one and giving more detail.

Thanks!

I see this feature often in other websites ... so it shouldn’t be hard to do.

Hi Glen. What fields are you referring to?

Dates on WikiTree are not numeric. Granted, one possibility, a year by itself, is numeric. But the same field can as well contain a month in alphabetic form, e.g.

December 2020

or

24 Dec 2020

So the numeric keyboard wouldn't be appropriate.
