How to use 2 date pickers with same Date field without getting affected

[Bharadwaj96]

Hi,

I have a requirement to provide 2 calendars(date pickers), one is for current period selection and second is for comparison period selection. As of now, I have one master calendar.

If i use same Master date in both the date pickers, and if i select current period, then comparison period is also getting affected automatically. Do, we have any option to make both the objects independent of each other? but using same date field?

Hi, It is working. Thank you.

One more question:

In date picker, can we restrict number of dates user can select. For example, date picker is having dates available from 2018 Jan to till date. User should be able to select maximum of 365 days or 12 distinct months only.

I'm not aware of any functionality matching that. You could use a calculation condition in your other objects that would prevent them from displaying a result unless count(distinct date) <= 366 or something similar.
