Date input

A date input interaction item is used when the operator is required to pick a calendar date.

Date inputs have the following properties:

• Target Variable The name of the new variable in which to store the date entered. Dates are stored in the YYYY-MM-DD format.

• Prompt The label to display over the date input field.

• Default Value The default value must be in YYYY-MM-DD format. If no default value is supplied, today's date will be displayed by default.

• Condition To Hide

  Add the condition that must be met for the control to be hidden. If left empty, the control will be visible in the user step. Note that when controls are hidden, empty variables will be created, unless default values or pre-defined data exist.

• Allow Empty Input If set to True, the operator is allowed to move forward in the workflow without entering anything into the date field.

• Merge behavior

  The control behavior at reloading, see User step reloading.
