make it easier to input dates into the metadata
It seems odd that dates are so cumbersome in a data entry and management tool. Even the most basic websites and applications are able to automatically convert "070123" into "07/01/2023", yet OPD requires you to either use the calendar tool (which is only efficient if the date you need is close to today) or use the mouse or arrow keys to select the individual section that needs to be changed (which is faster than the calendar, but still clunky and counterintuitive compared to just...typing).
It would be great to have the ability to tab/shift+tab back and forth between the day/month/year, or use the forward slash or dash key to trigger the cursor to move to the next number, or just implement the autoformatting process that is already present in Excel.
Additionally, setting the cursor to the right of the year and pressing Backspace deletes the entire year AND sends the cursor back to the "day" field instead of just the last digit, which adds 5 keystrokes to something that should only take one.
