Description
Choose a roster reference date or supplied date-display mask.
Anthropological records preserve source language, translation status, community terms, household reference dates, kinship labels and permission context. A reciprocal-term display is not a verified kinship rule, while a pseudonym collision differs from identity verification. Display masks and public-access labels do not establish adequate protection or valid consent.
Choose a roster reference date or supplied date-display mask.
When to use this tool
Use Household Roster Reference Date Mask when you already have referenceDate, discloseDate, suppliedMask and need to choose a roster reference date or supplied date-display mask.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter referenceDate, discloseDate, suppliedMask. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read displayDate. Use the output convention below.
Require referenceDate a real UTC YYYY-MM-DD date regardless of discloseDate; return the date when true, otherwise suppliedMask.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| referenceDate | Real date required even when the output selects a mask rather than the date. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| discloseDate | Disclose Date | Required. Boolean. |
| suppliedMask | Supplied Mask | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| displayDate | Display Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"input": {
"referenceDate": "2026-11-01",
"discloseDate": false,
"suppliedMask": "withheld"
},
"output": {
"displayDate": "withheld"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The mask may be empty. This changes display only, not underlying date storage, access control, anonymity or disclosure permission.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original field records, community-provided terms, translation sources and permission instructions for actual interpretation or reuse. Apply protection to underlying records and evaluate the full research context; local keys and status labels do not perform those tasks.
