I'd like to be able to have a recipient answer a survey question with a date. i.e. The question is "can you give us an estimated target completion date?". I'd like to be able to collect a date object from that response so I can trigger time-centric CTAs. I'm collecting a text field now that at least gets me the info but if I could collect a date field I think I could take it a step further.

    I had a requirement today to capture a date on a survey and was surprised this field format is not available. I’ve added my vote for this idea!

    Just upvoted this.

    Our use case is very similar to what others have shared. We’re building a survey for our internal teams and one thing we would like to know is related with a date. Without a date picker and having the answer as text will make it mostly unusable

    The workaround we created because of this feature gap is no longer a viable solution so we are back to square one. Is there any update on this topic?

    Also looking for an update here @manu_mittal  @anirbandutta . There are multiple use cases to ask the customer for a date in a survey, and there is no reliable way to currently get this information without a proper date picker question option provided by Gainsight.

    We have invested so much time into workarounds, and none have been able to accurately collect a date without manual intervention.  Can we please get an update? The original request was made 7 years ago.

    Hi team.

    Bumping this thread again. The lack of a date field continues to be a roadblock on our end. Any updates?
