    Is there a way to remove the current date/today's date option from the date picker?

    Hi Kristy,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support.  I have checked this form and it shows there is no default date selected. Take a look at the screenshot below:

    But if you are referring to a dropdown to select a date, it's highlighted to today's date and there is no option not to highlight it. The date is not selected automatically. You need to click on it. Check out the screencast below:

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Right. We want to eliminate the option to select today's date completely. Is there a way to do that?

    Hi Kristy,

    You can disable the selection on current date by disabling dates on the date picker field. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click the Date Picker on your form.
    2. Click on the Gear icon and go to the Limits tab.
    3. Uncheck the Past option of Past & Future, and add today+1 on the Star & End Date.

    Now, if you are looking to completely remove the current date as an option when you add or use a date picker, then that is not possible.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
