The Date component captures a date from end-users using a configurable format. It supports date range restrictions, calendar view, and stores values as date-only or with a timestamp.
How to read settings tables
The tables below describe each configurable option as it displays in the UnqorkAI platform. Values are formatted as follows: inline code — a value to type exactly as shown | Bold — a value selected from a drop-down, radio button, tab, or choice chip | ON/OFF — toggle state | ✓ — checkbox checked | ☐ — checkbox unchecked

Data Settings

Default
Description
Store Date
dateonly
Toggle
ON
Stores the date without a timestamp. Set to OFF to store the full date-time value.
Store Data in Database
persistent
Toggle
ON
When set to ON, this setting this setting stores field values to the database when the module saves, end-users navigate between Panel components, or end-users navigate between workflow screens. Set to OFF to exclude this field from server-side submissions.
The Date Input component stores its value as an ISO 8601string (for example, 2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z). Comparing this value directly against TODAY() in a formula does not produce a valid date comparison. See Comparing Dates Against TODAY() for the correct patterns.
Fields with Store Data in Database set to OFF are excluded from Plug-In component's API responses and Unqork's built-in tracker. When using a Plug-In component to remote-execute a module, any component whose value must be included in the API response requires Store Data in Database set to ON.
