How to add a Date Field to a Form?

We're trying to create a survey where people need to choose a date of an event. I tried to pick the "Date" option in the form, but it only displays a plain text; nothing about choosing a date. Can anyone help? 

Thanks,

Hi Itai,

Could you share the URL of the Landing Page where you have your form? It may be possible that calendar JS is conflicting with some other JS.

Hi Alok,

I can't share it yet since it hasn't been published yet. It just doesn't make any sense to me why it wouldn't work. I might need to bump this issue to the Marketo Support team, see what they have to say. Thank you!

Open a new thread, post a link to your form, etc.

Zombie threads already marked Correct​ aren't a good place for more info.

Thank you both. This is what I did: 
In field managment I created a new custom field and set it as "date." When I later chose it to insert to the form/survey I'm working on it shows only text, even though it says "date" in the "Field Type." What am i doing wrong? Thank you!

Hi,

If you selected a field named "Date" and it displays plain text, instead of a date picker - you can adjust the type of the field in form editor. If you select the type of field as "Date" - it'll allow you to "select" the dates. As Rajesh said, you could also have picked a custom field named "Date" - which proably doesn't has a type defined as Date. You may want to create a separate custom field and set it's type as Date.

Hope this helps!

Itai,

It sounds like "Date" is a custom field inside your Marketo instance? You'll need to create a custom Marketo date field or find an existing date field to store and ask for the info in a your desired format.
