Date attribute

Store a date value​

A Date attribute can store a single date in ISO 8601 format: yyyy-mm-dd

Configuration​

When adding or editing a Date attribute on a design/interface, you can configure the following properties. These determine how the attribute will behave when users populate its value on corresponding items.

The properties of a Date attribute

  • Name * - enter a distinct name that clearly identifies the attribute.

  • Required - if enabled, the attribute will need to be populated with a value before the item can be saved. It can't be left blank!

  • Read-only - if enabled, the attribute can only be populated when creating items. It can't be edited later!

  • Unique - if enabled, the attribute won't accept a value that's already stored in the same attribute on another item of this design/interface.

  • Default value - the attribute will automatically be populated with this value, which can usually be changed before saving (unless it's Read-only or excluded from an item form).

  • Min - the attribute won't accept a value occurring before this date.

  • Max - the attribute won't accept a value occurring after this date.

  • Tags - use the Tag Manager to select a custom tag or relevant system tag.

Populate the attribute on items​

When creating or editing an item, select the attribute to enter a value using the calendar picker. Select Save to finish.
