Hello,

How can you set the date value for the Date Input?

Right now it defaults to current date and user can change the date but I cannot set the date from the code side. There are only blocks for GetDate but nothing to Set the date.

Thunks!

Hey @actech,

Sorry. Not sure I understand. 😬

Is there a way to set the value of the Date Input from the code?

Thanks!

There is a difficult way to create such a function, but it requires programming skills.

See the example of working With JavaScript scrFramework and scrExchange. If you understand how they are made, you can use Javascript to add functionality that Thunkable x doesn’t have. Consider Javascript as well as the WebViewer component as a way to create extensions.
