Date field should not take past date.

[Sid_Takali]

Hi all,

I have Date type field called "Reservation Time" and the requirement is, it should not take past date. I have created a onChange Client Script on Reservation Time field. 

Requirement :- Date field should not take past date but should take Todays date only if timing is from future. 

onChange  Client Script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
var reservationDate = new Date(newValue);
var currentDate = new Date();  
if (reservationDate < currentDate )
{
g_form.addErrorMessage('Please Select Future date & time'));
g_form.clearValue('u_reservation_time_cb');
 return false;
}

 This is working as it is not taking any past date but Today's date is also not taking. 

What Can I do to achieve this use case. How do I match the timing as well. 

Thanks!!

Hi @Ranjit Nimbalka can you brief me about this?

Hello @Sid_Takali 

With UI Policy:

Table - Table Name

Conditions - Planned Start Date before Today

Execute if true Scripts - 

function onCondition() {

  alert('Please select future Date & Time');

 g_form.clearValue('u_reservation_time_cb');

}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Here is an onChange Client Script I am using for Change Requests, but it will be easy to modify to your needs:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
       return;
    }
 
    var cType = g_form.getValue('u_change_type');
    var now = new Date();
    var value = new Date(g_form.getValue('start_date'));
    if (value < now && cType == 'Standard') {
        g_form.flash('start_date', '#E6E8EA', -4);
        g_form.showErrorBox('start_date', 'Planned Start cannot be in the past');
        return false;
    }
    else {
        g_form.hideErrorBox('start_date');
    }   
 }
