Date V2
Date V2 is the newer date picker for forms. Its main advantage over the classic Date field is that it lets a user select more than one date in a single field, and it uses a consistent date format.
Add it like any other form component and give it a name and label.
At a glance
- Multiple dates: a Date V2 field can capture one or several dates (its value is a list of dates).
- Format: dates use the MM-DD-YYYY format.
- Mask field: you can mask/hide the entered value when needed.
- Required: mark the field mandatory like any other field.
Conditional visibility
You can show or hide other fields based on what's selected in a Date V2 field. When you build a visibility condition on a Date V2 value, the available operators are:
- Is any of — the selected date matches one of the dates you specify.
- Is neither of — the selected date is none of the dates you specify.
This lets you, for example, reveal an extra field only when a specific date (or set of dates) is chosen. For conditional visibility across the form in general, see Form Settings › Conditional autofill.
Date V2 vs. the classic Date field
The platform has two date components. Pick based on what you need:
- Date V2 — multi-date selection, fixed MM-DD-YYYY format, mask option. Use it when a user may need to pick several dates, or when you want the simpler, consistent newer picker.
- Date (classic) — single value with more configuration: date sub-types (Full date, Time, Date Time, Month & Year, Year), a choice of input formats per sub-type, and the ability to disable specific dates, disable weekdays, or disable dates via an API. Use it when you need a time/month-year picker, a custom format, or to block certain dates from selection.
Choosing the right oneIf your requirement is disabling certain dates/weekdays, a non-default format, or a time / month-year picker, those options live on the classic Date field, not Date V2. Reach for Date V2 specifically when you need multiple-date selection.
