Hi there,
I am building an order form wherein my delivery dates are only Thursdays.
Is there a way for me to limit the date field to allow selecting Thursdays only?
Thank you!
Answer
Date field validation for specific days only
Best answer by john.desborough
actually creating the list for the drop down is pretty simple and took me all of about 30 seconds to do this:
- in excel put tomorrow (Thursday) date in first cell and then using the Fill command for a series of dates 7 days a part i created a list of over 100 dates.
- then i copied them and pasted them into the dropdown question list (see image below)
save and paste and la voila, you have your drop down list in under a minute.
you can format the cells however you like in excel and then copy the field across.
hope that helps make the list more palatable in the short term
cheers

+5Hi 
We don’t currently offer a way to validate the day of a week within the date field, but it’s definitely an interesting idea! Could you use a dropdown field with the specific Thursdays on your form as a workaround by chance?
Hi Liz,
Could you use a dropdown field with the specific Thursdays on your form as a workaround by chance?
That sounds very tedious as I have to add every Thursday on the calendar every year.
+5Ah, got it. I sadly don’t have a better workaround for this, but if you think of any other questions, please let me know!
