idea Wheel Date spinner back to 1900 in ArcGIS Survey123 Ideas

Wheel Date spinner back to 1900

PaulCreaner1 — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 19:18:15 GMT

My name is Paul and I am having issues selecting a date prior to 1946 on the Survey123 Field App

Could you provide the ability to scroll to years prior to 1946 using the year spinner when answering a date question? I am developing an app using survey123 to input information on elderly and vulnerable people in our community. A number of the people participating in this initiative are over 80 years of age with some who are quite older.

I put in a call to tech support and they recommended that I submit my query as an idea to ArcGIS Ideas. With people living a lot older now, it may be appropriate to allow for capture date maybe up to 100 years of age???

Best regards,

PAUL CREANER

Hi @PaulCreaner1 thanks for raising this idea! This is certainly a valid use case.

Note that while the spinner only goes back 75 years, you can also use the forward & back arrows to change the year, which will allow you to go back further:

Best, Jim

Running into this issue for the first time now. Bummed this idea is already 5 years old. @Jim-Moore if the wheel can't have MORE years on it, it would be nice if we could set the range ourselves. I'm also doing birthdate, so I don't need the future 2027-2050 years. I'd rather those spots go to more past years so our volunteers don't need to hit the tiny arrows 10+ times.
