How To Use The Date Field Element

The Date Field Element allows you to place a formatted date using a date picker calendar option into your forms.

To start, add the element into your desired column in a Form Layout.

Go through the options to populate and configure your date field. Add a label and a name, decide if it is to be a required field, add optional placeholder and tooltip text, choose when to show the custom picker, and choose an icon.

Read below for a description of all element options.

Note: Please note that the displayed options screens below show ALL the available options for the element. If you have Avada’s Option Network Dependencies turned on, you will only see options relevant to your selections, and so the options screen may look somewhat different.
