Edit date picker field

(0) Share

Posted on by AnnetteM

On my screen, I created a pop-up like function that will allow the user to edit a few fields from the selected gallery record, then click a button that will perform a Patch and update just those few fields. One of the fields is a date picker field. I would like the data populated in the date picker field to be that of the gallery's selected record, but using the Default Date field defaults it for ALL records.

Any ideas?

To get data from your gallery you can simply use the "selected" property.
This gives access to both the gallery's data and the actual controls themselves
See below examples

Gallery1.Selected.DatePicker1.SelectedDate //select through the control Gallery1.Selected.mydateColumn //selects through the data source itself

Hi Annette,

Do I understand it correctly that the Date Picker value within the pop-up needs to be the date of that specific selected record? In this case, adding the following code to the Default Date field should work:

Gallery.Selected.DateField

Would it be possible to show what is meant with 'defaults for all records'?

In your gallery, in the datepicker, set your DefaultDate:

ThisItem.NameOfYourDateColumn

Replace NameOfYourDateColumn with the actual column name 🙂

I found out my issue! I was using the code you all suggested (Gallery.Selected.DateField), however it was not working. The reason was that the date picker on my pop-up screen had a start year of 1970 and the dates from the records selected from the gallery were before 1970. So, if I attempted to change a date from 5/10/1943 to 5/10/1950, it would not let me and it would default to 1/1/1970. Once I changed the start year on my pop-up's date picker, the code you all noted (and I was using), worked!
