Features

Core CiviCRM

• Replace jcalendar instances with datepicker (Continued Work dev/core#561: 15709 and 16863)

  These changes continue work to move to datepicker from jcalendar by converting report instances from using the legacy jcalendar to using datepicker for date fields and deprecating the addDateRange function used by jcalendar.
