Hi All,

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/d/ad0abee87996a58e6a0c837e913ed692ad48667e.png)

Is it possible to have label in the datepicker similar like placeholder  
because if we select the date the placeholder will show the selected date,  
so if is it possible to have anything as header with the same component(datepicker) itself.

Thanks!

Mock up a picture of what you want. It's not clear from your post.  
Why can you not use a separate label? (Make your user interface follow normal standards so that users are not confused.)
