Hi,

 

You can remove the value from your input field by using the JavaScript

For Example

<script>

Docuement.getElementbyId(‘compoenentid’).value=’’;

</script>

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Do you have a default value set in the definition of the date field on the object it is associated with?

 

If so, remove that.

its getting its value from somewhere as the date does not just magically appear by putting the field there...
