What is a date task?
A date task provides the respondent with the ability to enter a date. The date provided can be in the past or the future. This task type is ideal for situations where a response should be submitted in a date format (YYYY-MM-DD).

Create a date task
There are three ways to create a date task in the Mission builder.
- Select Add Component on an empty Mission builder canvas. This button is only available when adding the first task to a new Mission or section.
- Drag and drop Date from the components panel onto the Mission builder canvas. This can be done on an empty canvas or at any stage of Mission building.
- Click the ‘+’ sign above or below any existing task and choose Date from the components list.
Configure a date task
- Task title: Title your newly created task in a way that clearly indicates a date is expected as the response.
- Task description: If the task requires specific instruction or further information, add a brief task description to help the user interpret the assignment.
- Set a task mode: Newly created tasks are required by default, meaning the user must submit a response. Tasks can be changed to optional in the Task Mode dropdown. If your company has advanced logic enabled, tasks can also be configured as Read Only. Read-only tasks cannot be answered, rather, they are used to display information to the user.
