Date/Time Selector

The Date/Time Selector is a way of inserting time or date stamps into your form. Please note, an alternative way to do this is by using the .

It is also possible to dynamically add days to the date. This is useful for tools like expiry dates or From and To dates where you don't want to have work out the second date.

Please note, as this field has advanced and progressed over several years, we are using 2 different date pickers based on the option you select.

Initial Field Parameters

Parameter
Description

Choose Option: Date/Time

Uses an older date picker and the output is the following format (example): 2021-02-07 16:23:00

Choose Option: Just Date

Uses a new date picker and the output is the following format (example): 07/02/2021

Choose Option: Just Time

Uses an older date picker and the output is the following format (example): 16:23:00

Optional: Select Field that controls number of days to add to the current date

By selecting another field that will contain a numeric value, when the rules are triggered for that separate field, the current date field will add the value of that separate field. See example below.

Optional: Select the Field with the data it adds the days to

By default, the above adds the set number of days to the current date. However you may wish to add the days to another date field instead of adding them to the current date. This field is that other date field.

Optional: Select Field that controls number of days to add to the current date

Auto Generate Field
BEFORE: In this example, we have picked the "Add Number of Days" field for this special option. Currently with no value set the date will remain 07/02/2021 which is the one it started with.
AFTER: We type 10 and hit return (to trigger the rules and actions), this subsequently adds 10 days to the "Choose Date" field.
