Hi,

I’m having a problem with the datepicker input in a form, specifically the standard sign up form. When I use a date picker input anywhere else, I have the option for this format:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/f/c/fc1b3d993e38bd93c76415c286cbb0e9d0e8f367.png)  
But when it’s in a form, I only have the month date picker, or this day and time picker:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/a/1/a1625d965221f82838b29087355ca4978c1bddde.png)  
Both of those options seem absurd considering how basic a Date of Birth entry should be on sign up. Can someone please explain how I can get the picker that can go back years within a form? As it stands a user would have to swipe hundreds of times to get to a date of birth for an 18 year old.

Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi @Frosty321,

Welcome to the community 🥳

Does the property that you created to store the Date of birth is a Date and Time property?  
If it is you will get like the second screenshot.

If the property is a Date property you will get the first screenshot result.

Hope I’m correct!

Thank you

Hi @Dilon , thanks for taking the time to reply. I double checked and the field is definitely ‘date’ and not ‘date and time’. I also tried the date & time field and got the same result.

Your solution, for me at least, works fine in a regular date input element, but not when it is in a form. Do you get the same issue in a form?

Thanks

I see like this in the form.

In here check if you have selected Date Picker.
