Question

Grab the Month from a Token in Forms?

Forms Business Processes

Updated November 12, 2020

asked on November 9, 2020

Is there a way to grab just the month and year as a token in forms? It only gives me option for a date that includes the actual DAY. I know there's a way to do it in Workflow, but I'd prefer to do it right in the forms business process, if possible.

If you just want a text string in a regular text field with the year and date you can do it in JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function() {
    const date = new Date();
    const stringDate = date.getFullYear() + '-' + ( date.getMonth() + 1 )
    $('Your selector here').val(stringDate);
})

Unfortunately you can't do this in a date selector field. It requires a full date.

Forms currently only supports the original token values, no out of box formatting or processing for token values is supported.

You can also create a Field and use the formula =YEAR(date variable) for the Year, =MONTH (date Variable) for the month or =DAY(date variable) for the DAY.
