Passing DateTime value from one form to another

i was wondering if you can pass date and time from one form, i am using the DateTime found in the quick fields for both forms but the second form i have made the fields to be manual inputted but i am still having problems getting the info there as it is putting a totally different date then what i select on the first form to be passed

Yes you can. Use the prepopulate URL method. 

The DateTime field field name have this format

{fieldname:month}, {fieldname:month}, {fieldname:year}

Example form:  https://form.jotform.com/62356373857971

https://form.jotform.com/62356364639969?date2[month]={date1:month}&date2[day]={date1:day}&date2[year]={date1:year}

the 2nd form will be populated with value from the 1st form.

 

 

it work like this

Hope this help. Let us know if it did not work for you

I am getting the day and year to appear but the month is not coming across for some reason into the second form.

Here is what I have in form 1

https://form.jotform.com/60945190292256?submissionId={submissionId}&date2[month]={date1:month}&date2[day]={date1:day}&date2[year]={date1:year}


this is the email response I get once I submit the from and I can see the month in it but the form is not showing it

https://form.jotform.com/60945190292256?submissionId=18&date2[month]=08&date2[day]=24&date2[year]=2016

this is what I end up with in from two after I submit form 1

You're currently using "date2" as your date field, but I have checked it and I can see the name is "date2127" this may the the reason why you're not getting the date completely.

So the link should be like this: 

https://form.jotform.com/60945190292256?date2127[month]={date2127:month}&date2127[day]={date2127:day}&date2127[year]={date2127:year} 

But this seems to be the second form, could you please provide us the first form, the one where you're capturing the data.

Basically, you need to get the fields names that you want to get the data and send via the URL, this guide will help you with that: How-to-find-field-IDs-and-names

May be that the name is different for the date field in the first form than the second one, for example, the name for the date field in the first form could be "date1" and in the second form it could be "date2".

What you need to do it, first get the values from the first form, so it should be:

{date1:month}

{date1:day}

{date1:year}

Now, set these values for the field in the second form, so it should be:

date2[month]

date2[day]

date2[year]

Please do note that with "fieldName[Name]" you set the value and with "{fieldName:Name}" you capture the value.

 Hope this helps. 

You are right about the name changing,
Thanks
