1. In Authentication, add a Virtual Field.
2. The form Element of the Virtual Field should be Text Field

4. For Text Only parameters this should be sufficient to pass the value to the next form.
5. If you need to pass a Date, then you need to add this JavaScript Code to Header:
 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.13.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.13.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<script>
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function(event) {
    $(function() {
        $("#cbParamVirtual1").datepicker({
            dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy"
        });
    });
});

</script>

 

6. Change the Virtual1 to the corresponding Field based on your needs, you could as well change the Date Format according to your needs.
