June 2026: CMS - More flexible date fields for ongoing or open-ended content

What the update is and why it matters

Form builders can now enable an indefinite option for date fields, giving users a better way to submit content that is ongoing, permanent, or has no meaningful end date.

This matters because it removes the need for workarounds such as entering unrealistic future dates. It improves accuracy, makes forms easier to complete, and gives administrators more flexibility when designing content submission journeys.

When to use this

Use this when creating forms for:

• ongoing offers or promotions

• permanent tenant information

• notices or content without a clear expiry date

• any workflow where a date may not always apply

How It Works (High-Level)

Administrators can enable an indefinite option on date questions. End users can then either select a specific date or indicate that the date is ongoing / not applicable, depending on how the field has been configured.

The feature works across the form-building and submission experience, so the chosen value is handled consistently rather than relying on manual workarounds.

Best practice tips

Use indefinite dates only where a real end date genuinely does not exist.
Label the option clearly so end users understand when to choose it.
Keep form design simple by avoiding duplicate fields that ask for the same information in different ways.
Review reporting and downstream processes so teams understand how indefinite values will appear.
Use this option to improve accuracy, not to avoid collecting valid date information where it is needed.
