# Date Selector

The `Date Selector` field allows the user to select a date, historical or future. The date value gets stored in the format `YYYY-MM-DD`. You can also configure the date selector to allow the user to pick a specific time of day. In that case, the entry is stored in the format `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss`.

### For Developers <a href="#example" id="example"></a>

The Feathery SDK and API reference dropdown fields with `type` equal to `date_selector`. The submitted value is a `string` of length 10, including `-` separators between the month, day, and year. If time selection is enabled, the submitted value is a string of length `19` and also includes the hour, minute, and second.
