The DATE YOU ARRIVED AT THE EARTH field needs three items, like the YOUR PLANET NAME field:
  • A Static Text element named DateHeader for the field label
  • A Date element named ArrivalDate for the field value
  • A block named ArrivalDate for the field
Create them as described in Steps 10 to 14, with these settings:
1

Keep the spaces in the DateHeader search text

In the Search text field, type DATE YOU ARRIVED AT THE EARTH. Select Take spaces into account and Permit multiple lines, and set Line break penalty to 1.

2

Set the ArrivalDate date formats

On the Date tab, specify all possible date formats. Months are always digits and the year is always four digits, so clear the Word box in the Month group and the Two digits box in the Year group. Leave the other options unchanged.

Use the ArrivalDate element as the source element.
