Use a variable to make selection in a field

Hi,

I have a container, with two calendar objects, enabling users to make a selection basis a from and to date.

On the variables used in these objects I have added a 'select in field' action, specifying the field name where the selection should be done and added a >= & <= basis the from and to date. This works.

The application has several date fields; arrival date, registration date and report date, to name a few. I have listed these in an input box, storing the field name in a variable. I would like the user to select any of the date fields in this input box, and then by using the from/to 'date picker' make a selection on the chosen date field. The question is, how can I use this variable, to enable a selection to be made in the chosen date field basis the input box.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Edwin

I think you could use your input-variable as fieldname within the selection-trigger.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for your answer.

I use the screens as shown in the attached image - can I enter the variable (dateTest is the var storing the date fields) as field name here or should I add a script to the calendar object?Variable as field name.png

Kind regards,

Edwin
