# Date

Collect a calendar date.

A date question stores a calendar day as YYYY-MM-DD. The public form shows a date input.

There is no range picker. Use two date questions if you need start and end.

*Date card labeled Start date.*

Use a date when you need a day, such as:

- A start date, event day, or deadline.
- A birth date you will store as text.

> The saved value must match YYYY-MM-DD. There is no time on this block. Use Time for an hour.

How to add one:

1. Open the form editor and click + Insert block, or type /date.
2. Pick Date from the Questions group.
3. Edit the label. Mark Required if the day is mandatory.

*Insert menu open on Date in the Questions group.*

You will find this block in the Questions group. See Question types for the full catalog.
