I’m looking for a solution that enables a panel user to select multiple dates for an event via only one field vs having multiple fields for additional dates- trying to streamline data entry for the panel user. Has anyone successfully created a blueprint with multiple date values output via one field? Ideally, I’d like the user to be able to select multiple dates and then output that on the front end as a list of dates for specific events vs entering separate dates via separate fields.
@distantnative’s Multiselect plugin seems almost perfect, but it looks like it is intended to function as a select field type. I’m looking for the same exact concept, except with a date field type.
The easiest way - and one that works out of the box - would be a structure field with a single date field, but you are probably looking for another solution. Otherwise you would have to create a custom field, but then again I wonder if a sort of multi-select field with an integrated data picker would be very user friendly?
I went ahead and deployed multiple date fields that, upon a toggle switch, will either display or not display, depending on what the panel user’s preferences are. Still looking for a more streamlined solution for multiple date fields, but for now this will do!
I know this is a very old question but I do have the same usecase. A client want to pick a date range and / or multiple dates. I’m also a bit unsure what is the best approach for this.
Example: we have a calendar entry.
It can have one fixed date (easy)
It can start one day and end another day (date range)
It can take place on multiple individual dates (??)
Probably use different fields for the different cases.
fields:
dateType:
label: Date Type
type: toggles
default: single
options:
- value: single
text: Single date
- value: range
text: Date range
- value: multiple
text: Multiple dates
date:
type: date
when:
dateType: single
startDate:
type: date
label: Start Date
width: 1/2
when:
dateType: range
endDate:
type: date
label: End Date
width: 1/2
when:
dateType: range
dates:
type: structure
label: Multiple dates
when:
dateType: multiple
fields:
date:
type: date
label: Date
