The only issue with this is the years are in reverse, so looks kind of strange:<br /> 2018<br /> 2017<br /> 2016<br /> 2015<br /> 2014<br /> 2013</p> <p>Would be more logically if future dates were ascending. I vote for a "future dates" switch on the date drop down field - which would automatically add similar filters and list the years in ascending order </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-drop-down-future-dates#post-120446 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:58:18 +0000 Chris Hajer 120446@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It appears there are already filters for that: gform_date_max_year and gform_date_min_year.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_date_max_year" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_date_max_year</a><br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_date_min_year" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_date_min_year</a></p> <p>Here is how I used it to change my drop down:</p> <pre><code>[php] add_filter(&#39;gform_date_max_year&#39;, &#39;change_max_year&#39;); function change_max_year($max_year) { return date(&#39;Y&#39;) + 7; } add_filter(&#39;gform_date_min_year&#39;, &#39;change_min_year&#39;); function change_min_year($min_year) { return &#39;1977&#39;; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-drop-down-future-dates#post-120408 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:21:43 +0000 howdy 120408@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The date drop down is one of the most usable elements of gravity forms - for international form fillers this removes any confusion over date formats.</p> <p>The biggest issue is the years are only in the past (and one year into the future).</p> <p>Would it be possible to add a switch for future dates? This would be incredibly handy for people specifying dates in the future.</p> <p>2013<br /> 2014<br /> 2015<br /> etc. </p>
