The Date Picker element allows your form fillers to input dates on your forms. If you need to implement date limits on your form — for example, you only want to allow your users to enter dates that fall on a weekend or specific periods — you can set up your Date Picker’s advanced options.
To implement date limits
- In the Form Builder, add a Date Picker element to your form.
- Open your Date Picker’s properties.
- In the properties panel, go to Limits at the top.
Here’s the complete list of options that you can use for disabling dates:
- Age Verification — Prevents form fillers under a certain age from submitting your form.
- Past & Future — Enable Past or Future to allow past or future dates respectively.
- Days of the week — Choose the days of the week to allow on your form. For example, uncheck Saturday and Sunday to accept weekdays only.
- Start & End Date — Limits the dates within your specified range.
- Disable Custom Dates — Disables specific dates. The supported date formats are YYYY-MM-DD, MM-DD, or DD. For example
- 2017-07-30 disables July 30, 2017.
- 07-01 disables July 1st of each year.
- 15 disables the 15th of each month.
- Disable Date Ranges — Similar to Start & End Date, the Disable Date Ranges option allows you to set multiple date ranges to disable. For example
- 1990-01-01>1999-12-31 disables the 90s.
- 0000-01-01>1999-12-31 disables dates before the year 2000.
Dynamic Date Selections
You can achieve dynamic date selections using the Start & End Date limit with
today+{n}where {n} is the number of days to be added to today.
Suppose you’re working on a booking form and would like to limit the booking dates to at least one week after submission and also limit the booking window to just one week. For this to happen, you need to set the Start Date to “today+7” (a week after) and the End Date to “today+13” (a window of just one week).

Hello we have a reservation form with a Date Picker with limited date ranges.
For internal use we would like the form to be usable for all dates, so no limites on the date range.
Is there any possibility ( a cunning trick?! ) to make to application of Date Picker date ranges conditional based on another field or an url parameter?

Hola!
Cómo puedo limitar datos en una entrada de texto numérica, para que lo compare con un valor?
Por ejemplo, que el número sea mayor a 250,000. Y en caso de ser menor, mandar un mensaje de error.
Agradezco sus respuestas! Saludos.

Hello,
How can I add a condition that if the date user selects is unavailable, to hide the rest of the form, or not be able to submit the form. I'm finding that end users can override the non-available date by typing it in, and still submit forms for dates that are defined as not available.

Hi, I limited the days in the calendar to Mondays only and starting as per June 17.
I also added a condition that in case the first field is "niet van toepassing", in the second field nothing can be entered and no date can be selected.
The problem is that the date that standard appears on the form the actual date is. When the condition is met and it is a Tuesday when the form is entered the customer gets an error message that the date is wrong but due to the condition entered he/she can not change the date.
I hope I described the problem somewhat clear. Can you please help me out ?
Thanks in advance and kind regards

It would be great and useful if we could also limit time ranges, not only date ranges. For example exclude 22:00 to 08:00.

Hi,
I have set up a check list for the close of business but I want to put a time option at the begginning of the checklists so I know what time they started the list. However I also want to stop them from starting the list too early. Is there a way to put a restriction on the time they can start. For example If they can't start the checklist before 2pm, but start at 1pm is there a way for the list not to be filled in before 2pm?? Hope you can help...

This may have already been answered, but I have not been able to find it. We have a new Hire form that requests that managers allow at least 3 business days notice. Right now, if a manager submits on Friday, it allow them to select Monday as that is 3 days. How do I force that 3 business days (Mon - Fri) on the selection date?

Olá, gostaria de saber, se há uma forma de habilitar o formulário em dias específicos da semana, como por exemplo:
Habilitar determinado formulário na Quarta feira as 7:00 da manhã, e desabilitá-lo as 13:00 de Quinta feira.
Como no caso, uso alguns dos meus formulários semanalmente, gostaria de colocar uma liberação especifica para alguns deles. Desde já agradeço!
