Selecting year/month in a datepickerfield?

[dylan.thomas]

The default behaviour of the picker on a datepickerfield does not contain a selector for the year or month.

This means that you have to click next/previous 12 times to go forward/back 1 year.

How do you change the picker configuration to allow for a year and month selector on the datepickerfield? I've tried creating a new DatePicker and attaching it to the datepickerfield, but it does not trigger an update of the datepickerfied value on selection of a date...

Is there a simple way to do this in the datepickerfield config?

I don't think there is a simple way. One solution is to create your own picker(through picker property). Look at http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/6.5.3/m...anel.Date.html and it's yearPicker config. Actually, default datepicker already has year picker, but it's very inconvenient. To activate it, click at year field in picker's header.

Thank you for the reply.
I initially started down this path, and the standard Ext.panel.Date is fine for our purposes, but it seem to dismiss when you click on the year selector. This behaviour is only observed when the panel is attached to a datepickerfield...
