Autopopulate the month/year

Hi Team,

We have forms that need to mark just the year and the month it was submitted to trigger an action in Activecampaign (the month/year will be a tag that triggers an automation). We already have a hidden date picker which generates the full date (which we need for another report). My thought was to add a hidden DatePicker year month widget - just wondering how I set that up so it auto populates with the current date/month of submission.

Thanks! :)

Steph

Greetings Steph!

You can extract the month and date from the Date Picker element using a Substring widget:

Should you have any further queries, please let us know.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply - I can't seem to get it to work.

I have {date} as the field ID

but nothing is populating when I do test runs. This is how it looks, there is nothing under it.

Thanks for your help! :)

You need to write the Field ID and not the unique name.

You can get the Field Id this way:

Thanks.
