Date/Time Entry on Forms
Quote from SherriJ_Novitas on February 9, 2022, 1:19 pmI have a Date/Time field on my form and the users are complaining about the way completing this field is done. They want to be able to type 2/14/22 1:30 PM instead of using the date/time picker or instead of entering it as 02 -> 14 -> 2022 -> 01 ->30 -> PM. I could change the field from a date/time field to a text field, but then I run into issues with inconsistent formatting and cannot calculate due dates based on this field. Is there anything I can do to allow easier data entry?

An alternative way to enter data into the date/time field is to place the cursor within the date/time field, type digits for date, then click the right arrow on the your keyboard, then enter the digits to set the month, click the right arrow, and continue with this process until you are done filling out the field.
