    Hi MCBL,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. We don't have a feature to enable the form on a future date however, I have a workaround to offer. We can add a Date Picker field, set the default date to current, hide it on the form, add a Paragraph Element with a message that says "This form is not yet available" and set a Show/Hide conditional logic. Let me show you how:

    1. First add a Date Picker Field
    2. Set default date to Current 1679376923 6419421b4a133  Screenshot 10
    3. Set it as Hidden by clicking on Advanced

    Next, add a Paragraph Element and out a message that says about form being disabled or similar:

    Lastly, create a Show/Hide conditional logic.

    1. Click on Settings
    2. Select Conditions
    3. Select Show Hide field1679377117 641942dda73d2  Screenshot 43
    4. Create the condition. In this example, I want the form to be available on April 1, 2023. So the logic is if Date is Before 2023-04-01, I will show the Paragraph Element, and hide the rest of the fields including the submit button:

    Here's the Demo Form that you can check.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need more help.
