You'll want to look at their restrict date range, specifically the ability to set the beginning date as a specific date. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/preset-datepicker-to-show-a-specific-month#post-356445 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:20:36 +0000 adal 356445@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would like the datepickers on my form to open up automatically for October of this year instead of the current month, but I don't want to preselect a specific date.</p> <p>I am OK with doing this via jQuery if necessary, just need some direction, thanks. </p>
