We use date mostly in our action items system to set the due date for an action item.  See thefarmschool.wagn.org/action_item+*tform

I've created our Due-date as type date via a due_date+*rform card.
I've checked that all of our due_date cards are now of type date.

When I create a new action item card I see a link with a relatively recent date. If I click that date I get the way-cool calendar interface. Is that who it is suppose to work? I'd rather see something like "select" as the link

When I go to edit an existing action item, I see the date I set but have to double-click it to get anything to happen and which point I see the due_date card in open view and am able to click the link to the date and again get the way cool interface. I'd like to see link to the date without having to double-click anything.

Am I missing something (I usually am ;-)?
