## :hammer\_pick: Technical Improvements&#x20;

* [ ] **Improve Date and Date-range Picker Interaction:**
  * We've refined the interaction with Date and Date-range Picker, making it even simpler for users by allowing them to open it directly by clicking on the date range. No more reliance solely on the calendar icon!
