In this article, we will show you how to set up the Google Forms date picker feature. Simply follow the steps below.
Follow the process below to enable easy date selection by respondents by setting up the Google Forms date picker.
Click the "Add question" button within your Google Form. This action will create a new question for your form.
After adding a question, you'll need to specify the question type. To create a date picker, select the "Date" option from the list of available question types.
Click on the newly added date question to customize it. You can change the question text to fit your specific needs and format it as you like.
To make sure the date picker is available for respondents, ensure that the question type remains set as "Date." Google Forms will automatically provide a date picker for respondents to choose a date.
To customize your date question further, click on the date question, and you'll find options to include time, year, or add a description within the question settings. Enable the "Include time" option if you need respondents to specify a time along with the date. Choose "Include year" if it's relevant, and consider adding a brief description to provide context or specific instructions.
Before sharing your form, it's a good practice to preview it. Click the "eye" icon to test how the date picker works within your form and ensure it behaves as expected.
