How can I add a date picker in PlatoForms?

Question

Does PlatoForms have a built-in Date Picker field?

Answer

Currently, PlatoForms does not have a dedicated Date Picker field. However, you can create a date selection field using a Dropdown or Text Input (Date type). Here’s how:

Option 1: Use a Dropdown

1. Add a Dropdown field.
2. Populate it with predefined date options (e.g., available appointment slots).
3. Enable search functionality to help users find a suitable date quickly.

Option 2: Use a Text Input (Date Type)

1. Add a Text Input field.
2. Set its type to Date to ensure correct formatting.

Users can manually enter a date (YYYY-MM-DD) following the specified format.

🔹 Best Practice

• Use help text to guide users on acceptable date formats.
• If needed, add a Description field below the date input for further instructions.
