Pre-Setting the Date picker to the future that can not be changed.

Hi,

I want to have a date picker on my order form that is pre-set in the future and that can not be changed by the user.

(This calender/date picker on my form is going to be used to show the customer which date there product is going to be delivered, which is always 2 days after they they place there order.)

When a customer places an order using my jotform form,  I want the calender/date picker to display at date that is 2 days in the future. So for example, today is the 22nd of june, if someone user my form today, they calender/date picker will show the "24th June 2015".

So it will read:

Your first box will be delivered on...

*date picker goes here and will always show the date that is 2 days in the future.*

Many Thanks

Stephen

Hi

Thank for this

The only issue I am having it with now I want to set it up so it's "read only". I have been on settings, properties setting and changed it too "read only" but when I select this the "Conditions" I have set up above stop working.

Many Thanks

Stephen

Stephen, I believe that the problem is in how you've set up the condition. I can see that the condition is written If this field is empty. I have just added a rule:

If the field is empty, OR if the field is filled, and then set up the Read Only property.

(Use the Add New Rule button at the bottom left.)
