Date Picker Format

Hi Support,
I am trying to restrict my users from inputting data into my date picker component. I also want to present this in another way than the date picker component. Are there multiple ways this can be done?
Thanks in advance

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Y[/font][/color][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ou are correct in thinking there are multiple ways to achieve what you are looking for. A few examples of alternative ways to achieve this functionality are:[/font][/color][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2 - Using a Text Box Component[/font][/color][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
3 - Using a Date Picker Component with disabled controls

5 - Using a Label
[/font][/color]
[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The examples above can all have Dynamic Data Name values, or statically given data. [/font][/color]
[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/font][/color][color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto][img]att2[/img][/font][/color]
[color=#7f8c8d]
[/color][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For each example, all the inputs were set to output only with the Initially Enabled property toggled to false, preventing users editing the date. [/font][/color][color=rgb(127, 140, 141)][font=Roboto][img]att1[/img][/font][/color]
The following documentation describes adjustments that can be made to the formatting of dates: https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/custom-date-time-format-strings
