    Hi, I am working on an archive retrieval form which requires the selected date to be implemented in two formats. (One for directory structure and second for file date-stamp). I have created a form with a calendar selection which will provide Date: in one format (‘year’y’month’mm’day’dd) but I need to create an alternate format for the datestamp (yymmdd) can I set up a second format using additional attributes or select parts of Date:?
    Thanks
    Naomi

    Greetings!

    Sure, you can!

    Please go to New Field > Basic Fields > Date. Here you can change the date format.

    Thanks, have a nice day!

    Hi, thanks for your reply. My form simply takes user input data and parses it together to determine a filename and location, the url is then provided to the user via custom text. The location and filename both include the date but in two different formats. I already have a date input field on my form with one of the two formats I need. The question is if I can use that input (Date:) and reformat it without the user having to enter the same date again in order to assign it to a second variable with a different format? Thanks Naomi

    Unfortunately, we don’t have that functionality. However, you can add the needed custom Javascript code in Forms > Form Options > Javascript field.

    Thanks, have a nice day!
