Hello All,
The date picker is showing error when the website is load and its connected to a dataset for the form submission form. Need Help

@cameraarmour If required is checked in the settings dialog and the datepicker is assigned to a dataset date, that’s how it will appear upon loading. It’s not really an error. You could uncheck required in settings and then set the required property to true in some event on the page (mouseIn on the submit button perhaps) if this is not what you want to present the user when they encounter the page, but you also want to ensure that the user does choose a date of purchase.

As a matter of fact, even if the Date Picker is required and has no initial value, it is still not supposed to show the Error design until one of the following occurs:

  1. Visitor clicks on the Date Picker, then closes it without selecting a date.
  2. Visitor attempts to submit the form without selecting a date.

@CamArmour could you please check and let me know:

  1. What are the permissions of the dataset? Write-only or does is have read permissions as well?

  2. Does the Date Picker show the Error design also in the Editor (not in Preview mode but rather in the Edit mode)?

  3. Did this form use to work and has only been broken recently?

Thanks

Hi Eyal,
I have the same problem. Site Members have read and write permissions on the dataset. The Error desing is not usually shown in the editor just when editing the error design. And it broke yesterday.
Do you have any idea how to fix it and still keep the datepicker a required field? Thx Steve

Still seems to be an issue for me.

  1. Write only permission

  2. Only shows error in preview mode

  3. Not sure! Broken from the get-go it seems for me.

@eyalc Please advise!

Thanks
