I am trying to create a snippet that will calculate a date for a future appointment based on a date provided in the form.
What I am looking to do is to create a form like this
Enter Date of First Appointment: [FirstDate]
Calculated Date of Follow up Appointment: [FirstDate + 1day]
After reading the available documentation it seems like the best way to do this would be to:
- Use the Date/Time function to allow the user to enter the date of the first appointment
- Use a second Date/Time function that takes the date entered by the user and shift it +1 Day
When I try to use this snippet, I get an error message saying that the system can not parse "firstdate" as a date or time.
My expectation from working with forms and variables in other snippets is when I enter the form variable "firstdate" into the "at" section of the Date/Time function the system would parse the value related to "firstdate" and not the text "firstdate"
Is this the expected behavior, a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Is there anyway to pass a date entered by a user in a form to the "at" section of a Date/Time function so it can be shifted?
Thank you!
