Hi,

My question is about the date filter form: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-query-by-date/

I can see several fields on the form: year, month, day, ...
Can I set values to several of these fields, or just one is required ? For instance year=2018, month=9.

(I know I can combine any filter fields by creating more date filter forms, but my question is about a single form).

Hi, yes it is possible to include values for one or more of these options. Note that the month number for September is 10, not 9. 9 represents August. If you tell me more about what you would like to accomplish, I can give more detailed advice.

Thanks.

I'm aware that I can combine two Query Filters.

But on one single Query Filter, can I use both year and month ? (or mix any of the 9 fields available)

Sorry, I think my response was unclear so let me update it above. It is indeed possible to include values for one or more of the date period options in a single filter. If the single filter does not seem to be working as expected, I will need to know more about what you're trying to accomplish, and probably see the entire View editor screen to see how you have the View configured.
