What are date fields, and how do I use one?

With a Date field, you can ask your submitters to type a specific date or select a date from the dropdown calendar.

Adding a Date field to your form

Using slash commands

1. Navigate to an empty line on your form and type /date.
2. Select the Date field from the options shown.
3. Edit the necessary details, e.g., question title and description.
4. Select ‘"Configure" to the right of the field to configure details such as logic, formatting, and date input.

Without using slash commands

1. Navigate to an empty line in your form editor and select the "Add questions" icon to the editor's left.
2. Choose "Date" as the field type using the dropdown menu.
3. Edit the necessary details, e.g., question title and description.
4. Select ‘"Configure" to the right of the field to configure details such as logic, formatting, and date input.

Date Formatting.

To configure how Date fields are formatted within reporting and results:

1. Navigate to Account Settings → Account Details.
2. Scroll to "Date Format" and select your preferred date order. This will only format the results within your reports and submission results sent via email responses. If you want to format the Date field within the form itself, select "Configure" to the right of the field.
