how to reset a datepicker defaultdate in a form

Posted on by EricDa

have a datepicker in the form that defaults to this Sunday of the week. If the user keeps this interface open, the default date will not change. If the user submits the form next week, the default date is still last Sunday. I just want to give the user a button to submit the form. How can I make the user refresh this default date automatically every time they submit, and set it to the Sunday date when the user submits? thanks.

HI , @EricDa

If you always want to save the date after submitting the form as the Sunday of the time the user clicks the submit button. You can update this field:

DataCard - Update: （This determines what data you submit to the data source ）

Today()-Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday)+1+6

This way, no matter what the user chooses, the submission will always be the Sunday of the week on which the button is clicked.

thanks for reply, i have no problem with setting defaultdate of datepicker. as i mentioned, if today date is May 24, 2024, the defaultdate of datepicker is May 26, 2024. if user leave the app interface(form) open untill May 27, 2024, then submit the form on May 27, the defaultdate of datepikcer is still remain on May 26 which is not what i want. i also dont want to user to use resetform(), because user will lost all the fill in information in the form.

@EricDa ,

Set your defaultDate in datepicker to varDate

then on your submit button:
Set(varDate, DateAdd(Today(), With({ _sday:Weekday(Today(), StartOfWeek.Sunday)}, If( _sday>=5, 8-_sday,1)), TimeUnit.Days) )

thanks for your reply, the datepicker is in the form, i cannot use reset() to reset it. i can only insert a icon into that datacardcontrol and set icon.onselect to hold reset(). but i dont want to user to click the icon, i only want to use click the submitform button.

HI , @EricDa

According to your description, you want to always add the Sunday in your side.

For example , this is my test data:

We need to use this expression:

DataCard - Default:
If(Form1.Mode= FormMode.New ,Today()-Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday)+1+6 , ThisItem.WeekStart)

DataCard - Update: （This determines what data you submit to the data source ）

Today()-Weekday(Today(),StartOfWeek.Monday)+1+6

Button- OnSelect：
SubmitForm(Form1);ResetForm(Form1);
