The DateInput component of the DatePicker widget has been causing our team a few headaches all centering around the format placeholder used on the input. The issues center around:
- Integration with our form validation framework is difficult as the widget treats all invalid dates as null, including an "empty" date field.
- The format placeholder makes it impossible to copy+paste a date into the DateInput, which is something our users frequently try to do.
The jQueryUI version of the DatePicker component did not try to do the format placeholder functionality. Is there a way to disable this functionality in the react version of the DatePicker and have the Datenput function as a plain text input when typing?

We are currently working on functionality that will allow replacing the DateInput with a standard input or any other custom input.
The development is still in progress, but we hope to be ready soon.
Please share with us if you think that such feature will be helpful in your case, and if not please share why so we can think of an approach to cover it as well.
===============================================
Additionally, we have a built-in validation for the form controls. Please take a look at it:

DateInput still has default formatting and does not accept plain text. Is there any progress to remove default formatting?
Thank you
The feature mentioned in the post was about allowing the developer to render any custom input in the DatePicker and this possible now:
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/dateinputs/datepicker/custom-rendering/
This allows the user to render a custom Input (not DateInput) to cover different cases.
If there is still an issue, please share more details and an example, as this will help us provide more to the point suggestion.
