    I'd like to offer a drop down calendar where you can choose the date, but once it's chosen there is a box that auto-populates the corresponding day of the week.  Basically, on the submission end we need to see the day of the week at-a-glance, but also need the date.  Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Please check this template http://www.jotform.com/form-templates/show-day-of-the-week

    Tell us if this matches what you were looking for.

    You can use the template so that you can also review it on your Form Builder.

    Hope this help. Let us know if we can assist you further.

    Thanks.

    To do that you will need to add 2 fields to your form and set few conditions:

    1. A DateTime field found under Quick Tools

    Is there a calendar widget that auto populates the day of the week as well as the date Screenshot 50

    2. add any field that you prefer. I would suggest adding TextBox field from Form Tools:

    Is there a calendar widget that auto populates the day of the week as well as the date Screenshot 61

    The only thing that is left now is to set the conditions to check which day it is.

    We do that through Update a Form Field value option in conditions:

    Is there a calendar widget that auto populates the day of the week as well as the date Screenshot 72

    And then set it to check which day it is and enter the same value into the text box:

    Is there a calendar widget that auto populates the day of the week as well as the date Screenshot 83

    That is it :)

    Of course you need to repeat the steps for all days of the week :)

    Do let us know however if you have any further questions along the way and we would be happy to assist.
