label not working with date select in cakephp 3

I'm using form helper to input date select as follows

echo $this->Form->date('date_from', [
    'empty' => [
        'year' => 'Choose Year',
        'month' => 'Choose Month',
        'day' => 'Choose Date'
    ],
    'label' => 'Date From'
]);

But this is only showing select field and not the label Date From

You can add the label in your HTML code:

    <div class="input date">
        <label>My label</label>
        <?php echo $this->Form->date('from_date'); ?>
    </div>

The difference between the Date Form Control and Form Control is that the last one outputs the div wrapper and the label (among others).

It looks like CakePHP3 form helper with date doesn't support label as parameter.

But this will generate exactly the same label as you want:

<?php
  echo $this->Form->label('Date From');
  echo $this->Form->date('date_from', [
 'empty' => [
    'year' => 'Choose Year',
    'month' => 'Choose Month',
    'day' => 'Choose Date'
 ],
]);
?>
