The Date Input's empty value should return null instead of an empty string. This change would allow us to use functions on dateInput.value that require a date or null. A common use case is writing a date into Retool (or any other SQL database). Currently, I use the workaround {{ dateInput1.value === '' ? null : dateInput1.value }} each time this is needed."

Hey @TobiasOhlsson! Thanks for the suggestion. You've already garnered a fair bit of community support, if the emoji reactions are any indication.

I just put this into our ticket queue and, unless there's some side effect that I'm not thinking of, it should make a good first ticket for somebody! I'll keep you updated here as soon as possible. :+1:
