How to populate the first day of the current year by calculation?

Hi - I'm trying to insert a field that calculates the first day of the current year.

So if today is 6/18/2020, then the field would be 1/1/2020.

I'm trying to do this using the "Calculate field" function in conditions, but I'm getting confused. 

I'm not sure what formula to use.

Thanks.

You cannot do this widget. You will have to use our regular date field then do it via conditional logic. I will create a demo form for you. I'll keep you posted. 

Here's the demo form https://form.jotform.co/83525645362864.

The conditional logic is like this:

DateString is one of the Math Functions, guide here: https://www.jotform.com/help/267-Form-Calculation-Math-Function-Reference. 

Hi - but the date will not always be 6/18/2018, it will change every day. Thanks

What I am ultimately trying to do is ask users "When was the date of your last rotation?". If their answer is greater than the first day of the current year, then I want to hide the second page.

But I want it set up so that I don't want to have to change the date every year.

Does that make sense?

thanks.

I see. Well, it's possible, but you will have to update the date in the condition for the next year. I tried a workaround, but it seems to be not working. Let me see if I can create another.
