Hello dear friends,
Has your team ever struggled with users needing to select multiple dates in ServiceNow forms or catalog items? The out-of-the-box options can be limiting.
That's why I'm thrilled to share a custom solution I've developed: the Custom Multi-Date Selector Widget!
This widget provides a modern, user-friendly calendar interface for selecting multiple dates, streamlining processes like event sign-ups, resource booking, or scheduling appointments.
Key Features:
- Multi-Select Calendar: Empower users to pick all necessary dates at once.
- Configurable Rules: Easily set rules for future date selection and restrict choices to a single month, all managed by simple system properties.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly across both the standard UI and the Service Portal.
To help you deploy this in your own instances, I've prepared a detailed Multi Dates Selector widget.zip package. Inside, you'll find:
- The necessary update sets.
- Individual XML files for all components (for flexible import).
- A demo video to show you its capabilities.
- A build explanation video to guide you through the architecture.
Important Note on Videos: Due to file size restrictions, the demo and solution description videos could not be included directly in the zip file. You can watch them here:

Special thanks to Joni Van Bogaert for their significant contributions to this project!
I'm happy to help if you encounter any questions during implementation. Let's build better experiences
together!
Regs,
Lô Mouhamadou
