Date

The Date field provides users an option with which to choose a specific date.

A common way of using the Date option is to ask users to select their birth date.

How to add Date to an existing form:

1. Navigate to the page with the relevant form and enter Edit mode.

2. Click the existing Form, then click Edit.
   
   The Form Builder appears.

3. Use the Add question button to add the Date option.
   The date configuration options appear.

4. Fill in desired configuration details.

   

   1. Provide a title or question.
   2. (Optional) Add a description to appear underneath the field.
   3. (Optional) Select a preferred Date format.
   4. (Optional) Select a Date validation.
   5. (Optional) Select the Make this field required checkbox.
      This will prevent users from submitting the form without adding an input to this field.
5. Click Save in the Form builder when finished.
   This saves the inputs and returns the screen to Confluence Edit mode.
   
6. Publish or Preview the page to see the final result.
