Possible to change the size of the default DatePicker Calendar?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Have been testing some of our Powerapps with a wider range of users now. Some of the feedback coming in is that the default size of the datepicker is too small on some phones, and some users are finding it hard to press the "OK" button when selecting dates as the target area for the button is quite small.

I thought that changing the font size on the Datepicker might in turn make the calendar popup a little bigger, but it seems this is not the case. The calendar popup element itself also doesn't seem to be resizable.

Wondering whether anyone's figured out how to make the calendar pop up from the datepicker a little bigger? Or if not, and you've come across the same issue, what are your workarounds for this?

Cheers

Hi @Anonymous,

Just test around and it seems that the size of the date field cannot be modified so far. 

You could post this idea in the PowerApps Ideas forum, so it might be considered for future releases.

Thanks @v-monli-msft, I have raised a new idea in that forum.

If you amend the app setting to scale to fit but don't lock the aspect ratio this seems to make a difference. Now much larger (almost too big) on my Android device.

This seems like such a fundamental feature, that it's amazing that five years later it hasn't been implemented!

Yes, Microsoft should allow this basic feature. So that we can customize the date picker's size, and text size as per our needs.

Hello, your comment is something very important for the user experience. Hopefully soon the powerapps experts can help us with the update of the datepicker properties.
