Hi,

I have a date field called "Date" and another date field called "Archive".
I would like archive to contain "21/12/Year of field date".

So i tried many things but i still have the same problem. No matter if a use a calculated default value or a rule to update my field archive, i always have the field underline like if the value wasn't matching with the expected field type ...

The formula is : concat("31/12/"; sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4))
-> displays 31/12/2014 but with the field highlight

I tried all these combinations but none of them worked
concat(sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4); "-12-31")
concat(sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4); "-31-12")

concat(sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4); "/12/31")
concat(sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4); "/31/12")

concat("31/12/"; sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4))
concat("31-12-"; sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4))

I don't get it...

If i pick up the value in the picker it will display the same value but without error message !

Any idea of what's wrong ?

Hi,

Date values are actually stored in the format YYYY-MM-DD in the XML, e.g. 2014-12-31.

See attached XSN for a sample on how to achieve what you want. Notice I'm using a rule in the Date field with a condition: if Date is not blank, set Archive to concat(substring(., 1, 4), "-12-31")

Hope it helps!

Hi,

Thank you for replying, at the same time i found a solution but i guess you brought an explanation .
So what i did was to use this formula : concat(sous-chaîne(Date; 1; 4); "-12-31T00:00:00").
Even if i use date format it seems that adding time to the formula slved my problem.

As you mentionned, the point is that date format has to be entered this way : YYYY-MM-DD whatever your local settings are or the format displayed by InfoPath.

Thank you !
