Date Question Block

Overview

The Date & Time block allows you to collect responses that require a specific date, time, or both. This is particularly useful in consumer research when you need to capture availability, purchase dates, scheduling preferences, or event recall.

Block Details

Date Only Input: Use this option when you only need the respondent to enter a specific date (e.g., product purchase date, appointment date).

Date & Time Input: Choose this option when both date and time are required. For example, when capturing preferred delivery slots or time-specific usage.

Enter the Question: Type your question in the input field. If you’d like to personalize the question using an answer from a previous block, just type " @ ". A list of earlier questions will appear and select the one you want to pipe from. This helps you tailor the experience based on what the respondent has already shared.

Example:

Previous Question: Which of these services have you used recently? Options: Swiggy Instamart, Zomato, Blinkit and Zepto.

Date & Time Block : When did you use @Which of these services have you used recently?

Respondents View: If they selected Swiggy Instamart in previous question, then Date & Time block question will appear as, When did you use Swiggy Instamart?

Properties

You can configure the Date & Time block using the following properties in the right-side panel:

Layout: You can enhance the visual presentation of your Date or Time question by adding an image (e.g., a calendar, delivery icon, brand logo, or event visual).

To do this, Change the Layout Position: By default, the layout is set to “Blank” which shows the question in a standard format (text on top, input below).To enable image upload, select a different layout option:

Options

1. Response Required (Enabled by default): This setting ensures respondents must select an option before proceeding to the next question. You can disable it if you want to make the question optional.

Preference: Choose whether the input should collect:

Date only
Date and Time

If Date only is selected: You can choose the display format as below:

DD/MM/YYYY

The calendar input will reflect the selected format, and respondents can also manually enter the date using the same format.

Respondents can pick both date and time (HH:MM) from a single combined calendar-time picker.
Manual entry is also supported after a selection is made.
