Thank You page: Appointment field date and time values formatting issue

  • jotformfnb01
    Asked on November 24, 2022 at 10:10 PM

    My form is capturing details related to squash court bookings. My form includes an Appointment element. When the user submits the form, I want to include the booking date/time on the Thank You page.


    The issues are:

    • The month is abbreviated (e.g. 'Nov' for November, 'Dec' for December)
    • The name of the time zone is also displayed (but greyed out)


    How do I display the full month name and how do I disable the time zone name from being displayed?

    Hello jotformfnb01,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. There's no direct way to achieve your requirement but you might consider the workaround below.

    1. Add a form calculation widget to your form and add the appointment field to it.

    Demo:

    2. Right click the form calculation widget and choose Hide.

    3. Lastly, go to your Thank you Page and insert the Form Calculation widget instead of the appointment field.

    Thanks for your suggestion. It's not perfect, but it is better.

    Ideally it would read: ...on Saturday November 26, 2022 *AT* 07:00.


    Thanks again.
