show a descriptive field based on a date someone enters using branching logic

[Jeanelle Sheeder]

I'm trying to create a survey that will show a descriptive field (with an embedded pdf) if a person enters a date within a specific range. Right now, when you enter a date within the range, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I forgot to copy into the group as usual... SMH...

Hi Jeanelle,

Have you tried writing the dates in the branching logic like '2026-08-01' instead of '08/01/2026'?

i.e. 'yyyy-mm-dd' instead of 'mm-dd-yyyy'

David.

You did it! The mm-dd-yyyy format worked.

Thank you so much!
