Is it possible to have the date in date picker only be picked once per whole day instead of every single form/record submit?

I'd like to have a forms' data submitted but set one date picker field only once per day.

Is that somehow possible? I'm somewhat new to SOTI Snap and not fluent in programming.

Currently I have the date picker for the current date on my only form "MainForm" on one page with a lot of other fields like text inputs and check box inputs and one other date picker (used for an optional date for a contact wish).

The question now is, could a user who needs to fill out several forms a day choose the current date only once per day somehow so that this specific date picker field does not reset but all others?

I tried putting it on another page but that makes no difference within the "MainForm" so I think putting it on/under a completely different form won't work much better either.

Hi ADE, 

I have tried the same on my end and I am able to successfully ad the today's date.

You can follow the below steps:

 1. After selecting the date picker.
 2. Navigate to events select On Load.
 3. Then use Run Blockly
 4. Then navigate to widget values and search for date. As below

5. Then give it a name like below

6. Again navigate to widget values and search for today and drag it to date and hit save as shown below.

5. We can use multiple date pickers and accordingly add set today's date through Blocky in events.

This way we can achieve the results.

Try the above steps and let me know if have any concerns.

Thank you for choosing SOTI.

Thank you a lot (somehow I could not post/answer recently).

Looks good, but I can only choose "On Select" and not "On Load". Is this maybe because I have several input fields on one page?

Hi ADE,

When you have selected the particular date picker box you only get the option for "On Select"

And when you selected the whole page then you get the option for "On Load"

Hi again,

thank you a lot for the explanation on where to find the "On Load" option. I can see it and choose it now, but suddenly I cannot use the "Save" button on the Blockly-Frame that opens up anymore. It saves within the frame, but the "Save" button on the right bottom corner is always greyed out. Tried with three different browsers but to no success.

Thank you again for everything, I'll open a support case on the Blockly saving problem. Everything else should have been explained here now 👍
