input type="datefield" is not contained in any W3C HTML recommendation. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.html

We have replaced datefield(invalid) with text type as because setting type as ‘date’ as it will result in displaying browser’s calendar .Our component is custom one in which we create a normal text field and link it with our own calendar component. Rendering as type=’date’ will result in overriding our calendar with browser’s calendar. Therefore, input type will be of text type in the upcoming update .

This update breaks Chrome on windows and macs... Appears this was not tested. Browsers that support the HTML 5 input type="date" will override CFUI controls.
