Set variable to date picker's default date

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kosenurm 802

Hi, 

 

On load of a screen, I want to set a variable (Set) to a date picker's default date, rather than SelectedDate. 

 

DatePicker1.DefaultDate doesn't seem to be a valid parameter. The point of this is so that, for my bookings app, the availability of this date (via a filter on the dataverse table) is determined on the datepicker's default date (which is set to DateAdd Today +1 [tomorrow]), before the user selects a date in the date picker.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks

K.

    I'm pretty sure this isn't possible because as you've found, DatePicker1.DefaultDate isn't a valid output property.

    As an alternative, could you set the the value of a variable to (DateAdd Today +1) on the load of your screen, and then set the default property of your date picker control to the variable?

    Thanks. I add Selected.Date to the OnVisible of the screen, and that seems to return its Default without being selected! 🙂

     

    Thanks for your advice
