Hello everyone,
how do i set this to be todays date by default? I also need it to be dd/mm/yyyy format.
I have been in the site settings but nothing has seemed to change.
is this a power apps thing?
thanks,
Ewan
yes, edit the form, for the default for the control (you may have to unlock the datacard to edit it), it will currently say something like Parent.Default
change this to:
If( //Check if there is no existing value IsBlank(Parent.Default), //if no existing value then use theToday function Today(), //otherwise if there is an existing value, use that as the default Parent.Default )
To get it to show dd/mm/yyyy you can edit the Language property of the datepicker (under the advanced tab on the right) and set it to "en-GB"
hi @ewan
The datePicker: default as Today() and change the language = 'en-GB'
below date in language 'en-GB' first and the 'en-US'
hope it helps,
R

where do i find this? is it in the advanced section?
@ewan
