for a datalist accessed thru the userview menu and for a date range picker the little red X in the date field does not appear like it does for date pickers in the forms view. after some checking the page source (html) code, it looks like the datepicker.css is not loaded for datalists as compared to forms, so i added the following to the custom header box for userview when loading a datalist
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/jw/plugin/org.joget.apps.form.lib.DatePicker/css/datePicker.css" />
<style>
.close-icon:after {
right: 30px;
position: relative !important;
text-align: left;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 10px;
top: 2px ;
}
</style>
and it seems to work to clear the box on click.

--- while it works and its very convenient, someone can tweak it to make it look like red circles instead of the oval like view it has compared with the circular view it should have
