The only behaviour I get when I click on a date formatted column in detail view is the pop-up of a calendar to choose a date. I have no option to clear the cell and have it blank. The only way I can do that is if I go to table view, find my row, find the date column, select it and press delete/backspace. I wish I could choose “Blank” in the same way I can with Select columns. (At least in detail view when I use it as a data entry form.) ---

I apologize for this - its not intuitive and something we need to fix, here’s how you can clear from detail view. Once the pop up of calendar opens, press `Esc` followed by `Delete` that should clear the date. Like as you see here.

Bumping this in the hopes it gets prioritized. ---

Another bump, in general clearing dates is painful and this is something our users are continuously asking about. ---

Another vote for this. This is brutally painful. I had to add instructions on the form so our user’s wouldn’t be confused how to clear dates 🤦‍♂️
