Overall, this is a fantastic PR. Thank you for taking the time to make the contribution. This is especially true since this module is still using a legacy development pattern. Good stuff! :)
I left a few notes about some minor things, but these minor things could reduce errors later when this is in the next release.
Again, well done.. The DNN community thanks you! :)

There's no validation to prevent errors and user experience issues. Also, the readonly attribute should probably be here and not only in the JavaScript, so that it's still readonly if JS is turned off - unless you have a technical reason for that. :)

@ufoloko So you're not able to validate that the value is in a date format or empty? Maybe with a cominbation of Required, Custom, and Range validators to ensure the dates are in sequence and if one is entered, the other needs to be entered or deleted?

This probably needs to be changed, but just as a note for performance for code in general, this might be better done using the built-in string.IsNullOrEmpty() method, because these are string values, and length could return a value greater than zero if there is one or more space values.

Yes you are right. Sorry im not so experienced about how github works, how i can make this change to improve this PR.

No worries... In the same branch you used to create the PR, just make the update and then push again as a new commit. This will update the PR for you. :) Nothing more is needed.

Finally I have added suggestions you sent. About readonly feature, I need to add that option in client side because if you add that option from server, any change you make in dates is not being saved. I have added the option from server side but adding attributes to fields. |
I have added an option to export to csv for data between two dates.
This works adding a timestamp field for UserDefinedRows table to be able to get records between two dates. This field is automatically populated when new row is added.
If TWO date fields are set in export section, results are filtered, otherwise all records will be exported.
Closes #100
