Date

The Date type is used for dates such as a start date or a requested delivery date. You set it up in the variable editor (Templates › template › Variables › variable). The common part of the editor is described in the article Variables: overview and common settings.

Settings

No.FieldPurpose
1ValueDefault date for a new case.
2Date without timeThe value is stored as a calendar day without a time, so it cannot shift by a day because of a time zone difference. Turn it on for all dates that do not represent a specific moment (start date, due date, birthday).
3Future date onlyDates in the past cannot be selected in the calendar.
4Working days onlySaturdays and Sundays cannot be selected in the calendar.
5Show time in overviewsWhen the value is displayed (in overviews and in a read-only field), the time is shown along with the date. It is on by default for a new variable. Turn it off for a date without time.
6First possible dateThe earliest date that can be selected in the calendar.
7Last possible dateThe latest date that can be selected in the calendar.
8Exclude datesSpecific days that cannot be selected, such as public holidays or company-wide leave. Each date is in a separate field. Use the three-line icon to change the order and the cross to remove a date.
9Add dateAdds another field for an excluded date.
10BulkOpens a window for entering several dates at once, each on a separate line in the format for your language (for example 12/25/2026 in English or 25.12.2026 in Czech).

How it looks in the form

The user types the date or picks it from the calendar using the icon on the right. The cross clears the value.

The calendar of the Start date field follows the variable settings: Saturdays and Sundays are disabled (Working days only), as are the excluded days December 24, 25 and 31. On the left are shortcuts (Today, Tomorrow, End of month and others). Shortcuts that would lead to a date that is not allowed are disabled.

Restrictions apply only to selection in the calendar
Future date only, working days, first and last possible date and excluded dates restrict selection in the form. Calculations, dynamic conditions or an import can still write a different date to the variable.
