Date Fields

Date type fields are, like the name suggests, useful for storing dates. Additional validations can be added to make it conform to particular range of dates.

In the graph

Create a date field by simply creating a new field and marking the input type as Date.

Additional Properties

Validations

The date field supports validations only on the date value

Multiple validations can be chained together with AND operations

See Field Validations for more information on how to add validations.

In the CMS

When you publish a date field, it's available in the Content Management System as a simple date input. The user can enter any arbitrary date matching the validations set in the graph.

In the API

In the API the output response for this field is a date (unix timestamp).
