Good day,

I have a date field on my form that is calculated-read only. The current date is entered each time the form is opened. I would like to have a button that will allow a specific user to be able to change the date when needed. Is there a way to do this?

Remove the calculated property from the field. Make it readOnly to set the value and on the button click make the access to open.

You need to change the "yourFieldName.access" property to desired value in button click event.

yourFieldName.access="open";

Good day,

I did not reply that the answer was correct. Actually, it's not working. After entering the information in the click event, I get the following pop-up - "The value you entered for todaydate cannot override its calculated value". When I hit "ok", the date reverts back to the today's date.
