Birthdate - Form Element

Last updated: July 8, 2026

This Form Element is used to capture the birth date of the participant. What makes it unique from the Date Form Element its implicit mapping of the data entered to the participant data profile, not study data. Unlike most Form Elements in Chloe, this one does not require you to define a Schema Field, as it is already done behind the scenes.

Pro-Tip: This Form Element type is often used on a demographics form in a study.
