Add Date(Time)Var for scripts to allow much easier date input

[JCWasmx86]

NetBox version

v3.7.6

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add a new DateVar that allows people that want to run a script to provide a date with a datepicker, not with e.g. just a simple text input field.

I will provide patches, if this issue is accepted => You can assign me to this issue

Use case

For users of scripts: No need to check out the date format? Is it YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-DD-MM etc. It makes selecting input easier. Furthermore if you submit an invalid date (E.g. 2024-02-31) this would be already rejected during the form submission

For developers of scripts: No need to manually parse dates => Less code, less error handling in case of invalid input.

Thanks for volunteering @JCWasmx86! What do you think about adding a DateTimeVar while we're at it, to convey a specific date & time? I'd expect it can be done with very little additional work.

Yes, I will do that.
