Is there any way to have several dates assigned to a record using the Date field? At the moment when I add a new date, the previous date is deleted from the field?
Hi Sandee,
Sure. You can add as many separate Date fields to your form as you like.
Click the Form button then the Fields tab, then click the + button to add a new field. Select Date as the Field Type and give it a name.
Hopefully that’s what you’re looking for.
Thanks,
Brendan
Thanks Brendan,
Actually I was hoping to be able to enter several dates into the Date field similar to how I can enter several pick list values to a field. My need is to enter many dates from the clubs that I perform at. But it is cumbersome and cluttered to have to add a new field for each date. Somehow it doesn’t seem like a proper database if I have to keep adding a new field for a new date.
The alternative would be for you to use a Link to Form field or a Table field.
Perhaps just a Table field would suffice for your case.
This way you could add a Date field to your Table field and then add as many sub-records as you like. Maybe even add a separate Title or Description field to the Table field so you can describe what each Date represented.
I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m having trouble creating the table with a Date field. Here’s what I’ve been doing:
Create a new field and set the type to Table. Marks appear for the table.
Then, I click inside the field and set the type to Date. This erases the Table. I then have a date field but no table fields.
I was able to click to make other fields in the Table field, but none of them are Date fields.
