I haven’t seen an update on this in a couple of months and now that Qualtrics is making a new push for the “New Survey Experience” (Simple Layout) I wanted to see if anyone had a solution for Qualtrics not saving the date when using Flatpickr? I’m adding the following in my header: <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.2.3/flatpickr.css"><link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.2.3/themes/dark.css"><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.2.3/flatpickr.js"></script> And the following in the JavaScript:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){jQuery("#question-"+this.questionId+" .text-input").flatpickr({ dateFormat: "m/d/Y"});}); However, while everything appears to work correctly when taking the survey, Qualtrics is not actually saving the value that is selected. There were some pretty convoluted work-arounds a few months back, but I was hoping someone has worked out a way to make Flatpickr work like it does in the other layouts. Suggestions?

@jmborzick,Use a Form Field question with one field and this JavaScript (field label will be hidden):Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {var q = jQuery(this.getQuestionContainer()), qobj = this;q.find(".choice-label").hide();q.find(".text-input").flatpickr({ dateFormat: "m/d/Y",onChange: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) { qobj.setChoiceValue("1", dateStr); }});});

@TomG thank you for your response. I added the code you included, and while the calendar appears as intended,it is not recording the response. I have it as a required question but after selecting the date it won’t let me advance. To double check, I have the date piping into the following question and if I remove the requirement and go to the next page, the date doesn’t pipe in . Please advise.
