Downgrading to S3 since the field is fillable anyway, even though not in the most user-friendly way.

Comment 2

I replaced the date picker by a normal text input on purpose:

• there were some layout issues (the cross was taking too much space)
• and mainly we must take care to have a date picker which takes into account the user locale but the date display must be done using the form locale.

The locale problem can be fixed in adding support for picture elements which are here to give a format to the data we've in the form.
