Confiforms date field - Manual entry defaults to Dec 31 1969

Jason Walsh

Good morning,

Quick question regarding date fields in Confiforms.

I have a date field and it appears that the user can enter in different date formats in the field (ie: 08/10/2019) whereas the date picker format is MMM dd, yyyy. When the record is saved, it doesn't throw an error and if I go in to "Edit" the record the date is displayed as "Dec 31, 1969"

Might be a validation rule I need to set but was unable to find any literature online. let me know if there's a fix for this, thanks!

If a value given by the user cannot be parsed then it is set to "initial value" of a timestamp, which is what you see.

The easiest way is either to use a regular expression validation on a date field or have a field definition rules macro that verifies the date's timestamp is bigger than 0 (if you allow dates after the Dec 31, 1969 only)

Are you able to elaborate a bit or provide an example of how this is done? How would I phrase that in a field definition rule?

Could you actually tell me the version of ConfiForms you are using, as I was not able to really set anything else into a date field than the value that is accepted by the "date pattern"

It's an older version of Confiforms 2.0.31

Could I not just code a validation rule to force the date format from the date picker? I tried MMM dd, yyyy but it kicks back dates from the date picker as well, am I missing something?
