Hi Community - I'm trying to have a certain blocks appear based on the current date (and in turn, have all the other blocks not appear) in a survey. For example, I want the December 2021 block to appear (and only the December 2021 block) when participants take the survey now (in December 2021). Subsequently, when its January 2022, I will have a January 2022 block that I want to appear instead of December 2021. However, in my example below, the block that appears when I take the survey seems is the next block that comes in the survey order: August 2021. Am I doing something wrong with the embedded data? Have I entered it incorrectly?
*Note in my screenshot, I tried 2 different methods. The branch triggering the November 2021 block (I just threw it in there for this test) is from this previous thread (https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/1412/display-or-hide-a-block-based-on-date-parameters#) and the other is just from me testing it out.
Thank you!

Trigger certain blocks to appear based off date embedded data

Try yyyy-mm-dd format. I know that's the format that's required when importing data, so maybe that's the format they want when doing branching.

+1Thank you so much! I never would have guessed it would have been something so small yet significant as that. It worked when the the branching box was formatted with yyyy-mm-dd and the embedded data value was "${date://CurrentDate/Y}${date://CurrentDate/m}${date://CurrentDate/d}" , which was "TODAY2" in my example.
Thanks again!
