Date & DateTime Field

Date & DateTime Field

The Date field allows users to pick a date using a date picker.
The DateTime field extends this by allowing selection of both date and time.

These fields are commonly used for scheduling, logging events, tracking deadlines, or capturing any time-based information.

Properties

The Date Field Properties control how date-related inputs behave:

  • Field Name – Display name shown on forms.
  • Field ID – Internal reference used in expressions and calculations.
These identifiers keep setup streamlined, making it easy to manage and reference date fields in workflows.

Field Settings

For general options like Title, ID, Description, Required, and Visibility, see Basic Field Settings.

Computed Value

The Computed Value feature makes Date & DateTime fields dynamic:

  • Reference the value of another field using its Field ID.
  • Perform date arithmetic (e.g., add or subtract days).
  • Use date functions (e.g., Today, Now, AddDays, DayOfWeek).
Example: Automatically set a due date 7 days after a start date or calculate an age from a date of birth.
