<forms:datepicker />

If true, this control will attempt to focus itself after the page has loaded. Note that only one element may be focused on the page at a time.
Default = false
blurFieldOnSelect

Whether to remove focus from the input field after a date is selected
dataColumn

The datacolumn links the form item to a key used when getting or saving from a component (as defined by the parent form).

Specify a list of 3 character days (comma separated) to disable

disabledays="mon,wed" - Disables Monday and Wednesday disabledays="fri" - Disables Friday

height
string
Height

Sets the height of the element. The default units are pixels. include the percentage symbol % to user percentage values.
id
string
(Required) Most form items need a unique id so that they can submit data to the server. No two form items may have the same id. For situations where multiple form items submit to the same field, see the name attribute. Id's that begin with contact_ will automatically save Contact information to the Contact database as long as the user has entered enough identifying information (ideally Name and Email). Check the Contact Fields page for correct field names.
name
string
Sets the name of the form item. Most of the time, the id attribute will suffice. However, with form items that post multiple values into an array, each item will need to have the same name, followed by []. For example three controls with name="data[]", will all post into 'data'.
Radio buttons belonging to the same group will have to share the same name.
saveState
bool
Restore state on reload

Whether the value of the input persists when the page is revisited.
Default = false
transformations
