    it will display on the second column

    You mean the selected date? And do you already have a custom calendar? Is a!dateField() not okay for your use case?

    In the interface recipes section in the documentation, there is this pattern:

    https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.4/recipe-use-links-in-a-grid-to-show-more-details-and-edit-data.html

    This shows the basic concepts of how to implement such a use case.

  • No we have to create a custom Calander then cannot use a!dateField()

    Hi ,

    for the second column you can use the showwhen condition for ex: when you click on date assuming you are storing date in local variable. If isnotnullorempty(local!date) then you can show the second column .

    Hi  

    Please have a look at this code.

    a!localVariables(
