Since 2020, I have seen discussions about the problem of Adalo automatically populating a date field - with the issue closed and no solution given. I am using a Death Date field for a family directory. Getting a current date automatically populated into this field is very bad. How do I prevent a person from getting a Death Date, when they haven’t died?
Hi @Alteschinken,
In the Datepicker settings there is a possibility to set a Default Date (select Datepicker and you will see “default date” option on the left pane).
Having said that, I’ve frequently noticed that previously selected date is somehow cached and shown as the default, instead of displaying default date (especially if default date is set to empty).
So in your case the workaround might be adding a toggle “is dead” and show the death-related datepicker only if the toggle is selected. You could create a helper boolean property “isToggleOn” in Users collection, and use logged-in User → isToggleOn to manage datepicker’s visibility.
Best,
Victor.
