Hi,
I've been trying to figure out how I can change the source of a date control based on other criteria. For text and switch controls it's possible to use Xpath in the source but I can't see the same option for edit or date controls.
thanks

This is because the whole purpose of the Date control is to allow user to edit the date in a comfortable way. Otherwise you would simply show it in a label. But assigning an XPath implies read-only data, which makes no sense.
A workaround would be to define a node in a tree with the value of the XPath and assign this node to the Date control.

I was trying to avoid having to load all the data from a record based on a specific criteria (e.g. if the app is working online or offline). That is, a date control either points to a record stored on the phone or to an online database. Of course I can add two controls to the form and use the visible setting but this increases app size and maintenance costs. So I'll either use the work around or use a page action. Thanks a lot.
