Date Picker Format

Anvil Q&A
#1

I don’t see in the documentation where the actual format for setting the format of a date picker in the IDE.
Is it “MMDDYYYY”, or “%d %m %Y”, or… ?

I’m sure it’s there and I simply missed it

I think you can find that generally by searching Google for Python date (strftime) string reference.

#3

right, so the format string above with percentage signs… that’s what goes in the format property box in the IDE?

For the date picker, you can use the standard python formatters as well as the standard ISO 8601 date format

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
(eg 2021-03-29 10:05:45)

Searching for the above should get you a reference to what you’re looking for.
