[Date] field to only allow current date and future dates (No past dates)

imranybs · ‎09-16-2016

Hi,

I've the following script that allows not to select any past dates. But I would like to modify this to select the current date and any future dates. Please advise. Thanks ! function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) { if (isLoading || newValue == '') { return; } var d = getDateFromFormat(newValue, g_user_date_format); var today = new Date(); if (d < today) { alert('The date value cannot be before the current date and time. Please correct.'); g_form.clearValue("effective_date"); } }

Hi Imran and All,

Let us make this very very simple.

We will make a UI Policy with this condition :

here manufacture_date is the field which I'm checking if a past date is not entered. Replace it with your own variable name.

And now we just write a 2 line code in the "Script" part of the same UI Policy :

And that's it guys. We are good to go. We need not use any client scripts because for form validations the best practice is to use UI Policies. Using client scripts would have performance issues.

Please let me know if you have further doubts.

Thanks,

Arnab
