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).

Sample - Show 10 years before and after
c-10:c+10
Sample - Show specific year range
2000:2020
ReadonlyDetermines if the element is editable.
Display field as Label when readonly?

Displays the value of the element as plain text when element is set to "Readonly".

Workflow Variable

If the form is part of a workflow process, upon saving of the form (by clicking on "Save as Draft" or "Complete" button). The value in this input field will be saved into the corresponding workflow variable named here.

Using a non-existent Workflow Variable name

You will get the following warning with the name printed out (e.g. status) in the server log if you attempt to map to a non-existent Workflow Variable.
