Hi all! We have been updating our ODK 2.0 work from rev208 to rev218/219. Mostly it’s been awesome (thanks!). One hiccup in testing today (checked across two different tablets) is that the date picker widget seems to have changed. Where before there was a handy calendar that defaulted to today’s da…

Thanks @elmps2018 for the help! Finally, I am able to includes this custom datepicker in my odk. Below is the steps (in case someone need this): Copy the handlebars file to your form folder. In my case, I put it in my templates folder under my form folder. Define custom prompt_type in prompt_types…

Dear Jeff, Thanks much for the detailed reply! I see the goals now of the switch. We were simply entering dates of birth as a series of constrained integers because the calendar did not work well for that. Actually implementing any of these options is well beyond my tech. skills, so it is VERY muc…

Hi Caroline, In addition to Jeff’s response, I thought I would also add my two cents. I agree with Jeff’s responses to 1 and 2. In terms of 3, this can be done without a recompilation by using custom prompt types. A custom prompt type is currently only accessible via the survey that defined it. …

Dear Clarice, Thanks for your help on this! The custom prompt type is a great solution for us–we already had been implementing custom prompt types for async_assign-ing all sorts of things. The file you shared worked great for the dates! The one catch is that since we already had a customPromptTyp…

Hi Caroline, I went ahead and merged them and attached it to this reply: customPromptTypes.js.txt (8.6 KB) What I did was define custom_date at the root level (along with your async_assign) and then include it in the return statement. Hopefully a diff of the two files makes it clear. This worked …

Updating this thread after testing this file out with Caroline’s form. It turns out the issue was that it didn’t like timeFormat being overridden. Here’s a working version of the file, for anyone else reading this and having issues: customPromptTypes.js.txt (8.7 KB)

I had a similar problem recently and decided to try a custom template to offer standard html date and datetime input widgets, alongside a button to populate the current datetime (local timezone). The code is mostly based on the existing datetimepicker.handlebars, with a few minor modifications to ch…

Many thanks @chrismclarke for this wonderful charm. This works and is user friendly the only worry is that once the screen refreshes it clears the date values because of the prompt.Could something be done so that when there is a flicker it doesnt remove the date values. Much appreciated for this ef…

One solution would be to put the prompts on separate screens, then refresh shouldn’t be an issue.

The custom datetime picker handlebars provided by @chrismclarke is exactly what I need. Sadly, I am still unable to use the custom handlebars. The ‘now’ button shows up but the action is not working and the datepicker is still use the default one. Below is the screenshot of the apps: [image] Below…

I am also very interested in seeing how the custom_datetime_picker.handlebars are implemented on the survey form.
