Forms 2.0 - Date
caution
This page is preliminary and subject to change as Forms 2.0 continues to be developed.
Use to select just the date (no time). It renders with a calendar icon that opens an interactive calendar for picking the date with the mouse, and the date can also be typed directly into the field.
Adding a Date field
Drag the Date tile from the field palette onto the Canvas - see Build for more on adding and arranging fields in general.
Parameters
Only Date-specific parameters are listed below. See Common Field Settings for the settings shared with other field types.
| Field | Description |

| Initial Value | The date to preload. Accepts ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD), locale-formatted dates, or Tokens. Left empty if the value can't be parsed. |
