Date

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.

You can manually enter a default value (the format for the default answer is YYYY-MM-DD) or select Today to automatically enter the respondent’s current date.
 

Change format

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.
