hello @aparnaalavilli, thanks for your question!!

an alternative to using the datepicker widget is to use individual inputs for the day/month/year and then convert over to a date without time using the `PARSE_DATETIME_TZ()` function.

for example, I have a text input for each of the elements:

which can then be parsed into a date:

resulting app:

the Formatted Date variable can then be used in the connector function. more information on the `PARSE_DATETIME_TZ()` function can be found here: [Technical Details of the Expression Editor | Tulip Help Center - Support for Building Manufacturing Apps](https://support.tulip.co/en/articles/2864695-technical-details-of-the-expression-editor).
