Date Picker Year Range

Range of years to be shown

In essence, the value left of the colon ":" must be a negative number and on the right must be a positive number. It indicates to Joget Workflow how many years earlier and how many years forward to display in the year select box based on the selected year.

A value of "c-0:c+0" is also valid, this indicates to the user that he cannot change the year value (it will default to the current system year).

Code Block
titleSample - Show 10 years before and after
c-10:c+10
Code Block
titleSample - Show specific year range
2000:2020
