Disclaimer: As of June 2018, Form Builder 5.0 is the default version of the FormAssembly Form Builder. Visit the release blog post to learn about the Form Builder 5.0 improvements.
We’ve just launched the new and improved Date Validation for FormAssembly! Many of you have requested this feature, and we’re excited to announce that it’s now available for all Basic, Professional, and Premier users. You’ll need to upgrade existing forms to the Form Builder version 4.2.1 to use this feature, but all new forms will have it by default.
(Note: Enterprise users, we’ll be rolling it out to you throughout the week!)
Previously, for Date fields, you could set a fixed date range for your respondents (a date between two specific dates, e.g., from 8/29/15 to 9/1/15).
But now, in addition to specific dates, you can also set relative dates. Here’s a few possibilities:
- A date up to one month in the future
- A date up to two weeks before an event
- A date a month before or after the form submission
Plus, if you accidentally end up with an invalid configuration, the Form Builder will let you know instantly so you can fix it on the fly.
Dive In
We hope you’ll find that the Date Validation makes your web forms more flexible and versatile. Ready to get started?
