I’ve created a simple form to illustrate the idea with the Aries sign: [https://prnt.sc/-e57ktBG5x4Y](https://prnt.sc/-e57ktBG5x4Y) * You can download the exported form here: [https://pastebin.com/raw/p6YZQk81](https://pastebin.com/raw/p6YZQk81) * – import it for testing on your site, by copying and pasting the code: [https://prnt.sc/iWK2tK5uEsMK](https://prnt.sc/iWK2tK5uEsMK) * I had to duplicate the HTML field, in order to split visibility conditions in 2 parts: * ``` - month is March - date is greater than 20 ``` * and: * ``` - month is April - date is less than 21 ``` * – that’s because there’s no option for combining these 2 groups of conditions for one field. So in this example, two identical HTML fields will be displayed separately for March and April. * In order to make it work with other signs and date ranges, you’ll just have to duplicate these HTML fields, and modify them (change Aries text, and edit visibility conditions): [https://prnt.sc/1xIehgGQWSgA](https://prnt.sc/1xIehgGQWSgA) * I hope this helps.

Bypassing the date validation to allow that might be possible with additional programming though, which is beyond our support scope.

As a result, Forminator removes those conditions when the form is saved. If the Calculation field is later made visible again, the previously configured Visibility Conditions are no longer available, as they were removed during the save process. * We understand that this can be inconvenient, especially when working with forms that include multiple conditions and require temporarily hiding certain fields. * This behavior has been reported to the Forminator development team as a potential improvement. They will review it and consider implementing a solution in a future release; however, there is currently no estimated timeline. * Please feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance in the meantime. * Kind Regards, Fida Al Hasan Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-date-parameter/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-date-parameter/page/2/?output_format=md) You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fforminator-date-parameter%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to reply to this topic. * ![](https://ps.w.org/forminator/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3443182) * [Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/forminator/reviews/) * 16 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [dba83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dba83/) * Last activity: [1 month, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forminator-date-parameter/page/2/#post-18877671) * Status: resolved
