Date gives the respondent a dd/mm/yyyy box with a calendar picker beside it. Use it for a start date, a notice period end, or any single day. It sits in the Temporal group of the Add Content palette.

Settings

Date adds nothing to the settings every field shares. There is no earliest or latest day to set. A date the respondent should not be able to pick has to be caught after the answer arrives, either by an evaluator or by an automation.

What it stores

A date and time. All three temporal types share one value, and Date fills in the day.

Logic operators

The operator picker is fixed at has response and cannot be changed. A condition on a Date question in the Logic tab, with the operator showing has response and no value box beside it
You cannot branch on how early or late a date is. A rule can ask whether the respondent gave a date at all, and nothing more. To act on the day itself, use Criteria or an automation.

Evaluation

Switch Criteria, Scoring, or Skills on for the form in the Evaluation tab and each one gets a switch on this card. A start date is a good Criteria must-have, and it is the way to test a date that logic cannot reach.
