Date Picker Field: How to block the other dates

https://www.jotform.com/build/232765704525156

First field: I have not enabled the calendar blocker on a current date, but when testing, I am able to click to see the calendar and choose a different date. I only want to see the date the user filled out the form.

Thanks so much!!

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'll need some time to look into this. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Hi Ruth,

Since you already set the default date of your Date Picker to the current date, let me show you how to disable choosing other dates.

1. In Form Builder, click on the Gear icon of the Date Picket field.
2. From the Limits tab, uncheck Past and Future.

Here's the result:

As you can see from my screenshot above, all the other dates are greyed out and can't be selected. Another workaround that I can suggest is by getting the value from the Date Picker field and passing it into a short text field by setting up the Update/Calculate Field condition. This way, users won't be able to click on the Date Picker field. Let me walk you through this:

1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element on the upper left side of the page.
2. From the Basic tab, select Short Text.
3. Click on the Gear icon of the added field.
4. From the General tab, enter the Field Label.
5. From the Advanced tab, toggle Read Only to turn it On. This way, users won't be able to edit the field.
6. Let's hide your Date Picker field:a. Click on the Gear icon of your Date Picker field.b. From the Advanced tab, toggle Hide field.

Now, let's set up the Update/Calculate Field Condition:

1. In Form Builder, click on Settings on the orange navigation bar at the top of the page.
2. Select Conditions from the left side window.
3. Select Update Calculate Field.
4. Set up the condition like the one below. The IF statement will be the Date Picker field, and the TO field is the short text field that's been added.
5. Click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.

Here's the result:
