Object Button and select a date for action

Hello world !

My data contains a date :
1.PNG

I'm using the Button object for his action possibility. I just want to select a specific date when clicking on it.

2.PNG 

Without succes 😒. I try many possibility to give the value (just text, with date function, different format...)... The result is the same.

If some values are selected in the field, a click on the button will deselect data.

When I try on another "text" field, it's working fine !

Any suggestion why ?

Thanks for help !

Hello

Try with a numeric format (your date *1)

Make sure your date format matches the one your application uses - you can do this by making a manual selection and seeing what pops up.

For example, my dates are formatted as '01-JAN-2020', so I was able to get it to select using:

='01-JAN-2020'

or

Date(MakeDate(2020,1,1),'DD-MMM-YYYY')

But not e.g.

='01/01/2020'

Hi, thanks for your answer.

I agree ! But in the reality 😑

For example, a selection on this field : 3.png

And used like that :

2.PNG

It seems correct for me. 

Is it working for you ?
