InForm Admin Dependent picklist (picklist - date)
Apologies, I am new to Inform/Salesforce admin so this could be an easy one.
My organisation has a requirement for four picklists on all client files, corrasponding to four surveys, indicating whether that survey has been completed or not (Yes/No/Unknown). If the survey has been completed, I would like a date field to appear, so the worker can log the date on which the survey has been completed.
However, it appears that date is not an option as a dependant field. I've had a look around and can't seem to find anyone with this issue, any help appriciated.

Can anybody help with this?
However, a solution would be to create a VF page to then add to the page layout. You can render the date fields based on the picklist's value. You don't need to know Apex, just VisualForce, here is a link to get started:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_controller_std_actions.htm
Here is an example of how I think you could make it work, you'd have to incorporate this into your VF page with your fields.
<apex:actionFunction name="showDateField" reRender="dateBox" /> <apex:inputField value="{!Lead.Survey}" onchange="showDateField()" /> <apex:outputPanel id="dateBox"> <apex:inputField value="{!Lead.SurveyDate}" rendered="{!Lead.Survey == 'Yes'}" /> </apex:outputPanel>
