It looks like when the validation checks the values - it validates on the date field whether the field is required or not. </p> <p>In this case - I don't want the user thinking they MUST provide a date for the field if they hit the validation message.

Are you trying to make the date field be a required field? If so, then that's why it requires a date. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-field-valid-date-no-value#post-63292 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 08:45:27 +0000 whershfeld 63292@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi -<br /> I have a simple date field in one of my forms - and I'd like the field to accept either a date value from the data picker or NO date. As it is - the field won't accept a null value when I attempt to send the form. Is there a way to set the field to accept no value? </p>
