Prevent paste input into date picker field [RESOLVED]

Hi, I’m looking for a jQuery snippet to prevent pasting a date into the date field.
I have added restricted dates to the calendar and disabled the possibility to edit the date, but it is still possible to copy paste a date directly into the date field.
Hope someone can help.

Try this:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    jQuery('input.datepicker').on("cut copy paste",function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
    });
});

If it’s specific to one field, you could place it in an HTML field in that form between <script type="text/javascript"></script>, and change the selector from input.datepicker to the ID of the specific input, eg. #input_5_9

Hope this helps!
