Hi, I have 2 questions

1. I have a date picker which I use for a date field in an edit form. I can set that to default to today's date but I would really like that to open up with just blank in this field. Can I set this in the default property? I have tried the default property as just blank and Blank() and "".

2. I have just a few fields that I display at the top of the edit form but I don't want users to make changes to these fields. I have set the property to DisplayMode.View which works fine for the text fields but if I try to set this for a radio button field the field disappears from view.

Any suggestions please.

The date should automatically default to blank if using the modern control and you can remove the default date for the classic control.

The radio button should still appear if set to view or disabled. Is the visible property being changed by some variable?

Hi!

1. To make the classic DatePicker blank by default you need to modify two places in Advanced settings:

As you did before, you need to set DefaultDate property to Blank(). Then you need to modify the InputTextPlaceholder. By default, there is a formula:

If(IsBlank(Self.SelectedDate), Text(Date(2001,12,31), Self.Format, Self.Language))

You need to modify it as follows:

If(IsBlank(Self.SelectedDate), "")
