Using variable to fill text boxes

Asked by stick

I would like to enter a date in several different text boxes. Is there a way to ask the user for a date, then use TYPE() to enter it into the fields.

I also tried
y="03-FEB-2010 00:00:00"
type(y)
This seemed to error.
Thanks

I guess the typed app gives the error?

your app receives 03-FEB-2010 00:00:00 in the input field - is this what you want?

type does not convert any text. You have to convert it into an string, that is accepted by the receiving app.

To ask the user for a date you can just do

date = input("Date?")

then any place it needs to be added use:

type(date)
