Passing Date Picker Selected Date To A Textbox

[chiranjay]

Hi All,

I want to know, is there a way/formula/function to pass the selected date of a 'Date Picker' to a Text box? I couldn't find a way to do that and tried to use the value property of the date picker but there isn't a property named value.

Could someone help me with this?

Kind regards,
Chiranthaka

Information in PowerApps is by reference, not by passing.

So, if you want your TextInput control to have the date selected in the DatePicker, then set the Default property of your TextInput control to:  yourDatePickerName.SelectedDate

I hope this is helpful for you.

Thanks @RandyHayes this worked.

Do you know of any instances where a text field will literally just refuse to accept or display this value.

I have been using an APP i published for 8 months and yesterday one of the text fields just stopped displaying the value from one of the date pickers!

I changed the formula, I modified the text box, I even had it write to a label and then update the text box with the label value and..... Nothing - Text box says Nope - Driving me absolutely nuts
