Hi helpers,

The timesheet section of my app is working faultlessly, however, when I call up an edit screen the data initially is perfect but as soon as I choose a date or time to edit, the picker changes it to the current date or time.I would like to call the picker and have it display the original date.

I have another app I regularly use, and it does exactly what I am hoping for as above. Is there a block sequence I can include to overcome this?

Because it is potentially a component matter I haven’t bothered with any code snippets at this stage - but if it’s something you suspect I am doing wrong I will post some

Cheers  
P

Could you share some screenshots of your blocks and relevant screens?

Hi Brian, Thanks for responding, apologies for delay - holidays rule!!

I have some screensnips to show part of my timesheet screen, the relevant blocks, and the Other App I mentioned so you can see what I am hoping to be able to display when the user is Editing an already created Timesheet, rather than the current date and time.

I look forward to your input - hopefully, I am not wasting your time!!
