Kuika's Date Range element allows users to select a specific date range. Users can enter the date range manually or specify the start and end dates via the date picker. This element is ideal for situations that require date range selection and prevents erroneous entries by ensuring that the user selects a valid date range. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Date Range element and configure date range validations.

The Date Range element is only supported in web applications.
