Hello,

I use the date picker component quite a bit, almost in every form I use it. My app’s design uses a lot of sheets (drawers in the past). I have no issues there.

In one place, I have a modal that I open on click of a calendar icon. This modal contains a date picker. I’m not sure why, the value of this date picker is never seen on the screen variable list.

Is there any other setting I need to do in addition when it comes to placing a date picker inside a modal?

Hi, is your modal inside a repeating group? If yes the state could be lost: [Dialog | WeWeb Documentation](https://docs.weweb.io/elements/dialog.html#retrieving-data-from-form-inputs)

Ah okay. Yes, it’s inside a repeating group. Thanks for the tip!

As a work around, I changed it to a custom modal and I get the values now.
