The Date block makes it easy to collect dates in a consistent and structured format — perfect for bookings, deadlines, availability, or anything else time-sensitive. With customizable formats, default values, and advanced settings, you’re in full control of how respondents select and submit dates.

Date blocks use the form language’s format by default. You can also change the format to:
- Month/Day/Year
- Day/Month/Year
- Year/Month/Day
- Day.Month.Year
- Year-Month-Day
The format defines how your respondents can enter the date, how it is displayed to them if they select it from the calendar, and how it will appear in email notifications.
You can also select the day on which the week starts further down in the menu.

Enable or disable specific dates
You can set specific dates or date ranges to be allowed or disabled for the Date block input.
- Disable days in the past or future, or specific days of the week
- Set a date before or after which all dates will be disabled
- Only accept dates in a allowed range, or only accept specific days

View dates
Respondents' date inputs will be displayed in the
Submissions
tab of your published form. These values will be formatted in your form language’s default format.
