Hi everyone!

I would like to ask if there is a way to auto populate a date field that is hidden so that when I view the statistics a date field would appear under response filters?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Unfortunately I was not successfull in entering something dynamic into the default answer option,
I used an equation to populate the date question.
Both hidden:
1. equation: {MyDate=date("Y-m-d")}
2. Hidden date question with code "MyDate"

And you have a date field in the response filter

If you are going to populate with some other than the actual date, please tell us.

For default value : {date("Y-m-d")} for date of today

With all data format. Since default value is set in PHP : must be SQL date

For another day/date : play with strtotime is the most easy.

For example : {date("Y-m-d",strtotime("tomorrow"))}

For default value : {date("Y-m-d")} for date of today

Of course, I missed the curly brackets.

Thanks a lot sir Joffm and sir DenisChenu.

However, after trying it, the statistics shows the date (just like in the photo above) but why doesn't it save the date in the date field when I view it under survey responses.

Hi, most probably you looked at the wrong place.

This value is stored.

It is stored exactly with the code of your "date" question.

Otherwise it couldn't be displayed in the statistics.
