Missing validation message in custom date form field

[hiren-gujarati]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento version: 2.4.6
• Custom date field in any frontend form

Steps to reproduce

1. Add custom date field with date button in frontend form.
2. Open form which have custom date field.
3. Try to submit blank form.
4. All field show validation message as per there validation but date field not show any validation message

You can add custom date form field without calendar button using following code snippets,

<div class="field required">
    <label for="establishment_date" class="label">
        <span><?= /* @noEscape */ $block->escapeHtml(__('Establishment Date')) ?></span>
    </label>
    <div class="control">
        <input type="text"
                name="establishment_date"
                value=""
                title="<?= /* @noEscape */ $block->escapeHtml(__('Establishment Date')) ?>"
                class="input-text required-entry"
                id="establishment_date">
    </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    require([
        'jquery',
        'mage/calendar'
    ], function ($) {
        $("#establishment_date").datepicker({
            dateFormat:'dd-mm-yy',
            changeYear: true,
            changeMonth: true,
        });
    });
</script>

Expected result

Date form field should show validation message same as other fields

Actual result

Date field not showing validation message without calendar button

Additional information

• It is working fine when we add calendar button with date form field.

• Date field validation is added after calendar button so, when we don't add button so, validation message is not showing. We can add button using following code snippet but it should work without button too.

<script type="text/javascript">
   require([
       'jquery',
       'mage/calendar'
   ], function ($) {
       $("#establishment_date").datepicker({
           dateFormat:'dd-mm-yy',
           changeYear: true,
           changeMonth: true,
           buttonText: '',
           showOn: 'both'
       });
   });
</script>

Error message is placed after button for date field from validation.js

Hello @hiren-gujarati,

Thank you for the report and collaboration!

Verified this on 2.4-develop.
The date-picker validation error is thrown only if the button is enabled, if the button is disabled even though the field is empty the error is not shown.

Please take a look at the screenshot:

Hence confirming this issue.

Thank you.
