Hi Brandon,

You can assign a variable to the Form Step by going to the Widget Panel of the right hand side:

From there you’ll be able to access that variable throughout your app.

Let me know if you have any quesitons!

Thanks,  
Kailey

I’ve done this but the Date Variable isn’t available to select when trying to Store in a table

Hi @bscott, this usually happens to me when the variable and the field in the table are of a different type.

that’s a great point @hed, thanks for sharing!!

@bscott, can you confirm you indeed have a column of type Datetime in the Table you’re trying to store the data to??
