QlikDatePickerWidget replaced in an extention pack?

[Scott2]

Hi all, 

Anyone know if this functionality in the below simple widget (to pass a date from a calendar into a variable) has been re-created in any extension packs? it doesn't seem possible out of the box with a date picker custom object.

Thanks!

Hey @Scott2 - not that I'm aware of, although someone else might chime in.

I think the closest you'll get is the bundled date picker, where you'll need to set the variable to the max of what a user selects from a data island for each variable (or use alternative dimensions), and hide the fields in question from selections and search.

You might also want to post over in App Development in case someone there has a good idea - and of course check out ideation!

thanks Dave for your reply - Regarding your data island idea - I think I see how that could work so I will give it a try. thanks!
