Add autocomplete for date element to be a11y compliant

Created on 25 July 2025, 5 days ago

Problem/Motivation

I think autocomplete for the date field was disabled because of bugs in the past.
Because new europian guidelines have strict a11y rules, and require this attribute where it is applicable.

Steps to reproduce

Add a date field to your webform, you'll find no autocomplete options.

Proposed resolution

Enable autocomplete for datefields with a default "on" state.
And people can also choose a value like birthday.

Remaining tasks

I think none, included patch enables the autocomplete options.

User interface changes

The date field gets the default "autocomplete" options.

API changes

none

Data model changes

none
