Default date in a Power App DatePicker

Posted on by MarkFitzpatrick

I have a Power App using Forms to display and update data in SharePoint lists.

It includes a date field, which the user can choose to select. If I leave the DefaultDate property blank it is displayed at '31/12/2001'. If the user saves the record with selecting a date, the field remains blank (which is what I want it to do).

If I set the DefaultDate to 'Today()' then today's date is displayed. If the user saves the record, even without actually clicking on the date picker, this date is stored.

Is there a way of showing the default date as today's date, but only saving it if it then selected by the user?

thanks

Hi @MarkFitzpatrick ,

You could set the datepicker's OnSelect property to:

Set(SaveDateVaribale,true)

Set the date datacard's Update property to:

If(SaveDateVaribale,DatePikcerName.SelectedDate)

Best Regards,
