Date time field cannot be in future

[FotinaG]

Hi Team,

In var set I have Date time field , however i need to make it unpossible to choose date in future and show an info that  date cannot be in future in 2 languages depending on what user session is.

I tried with Client script into car set and separately in item, also with UI policy, but still behavior is not changing. It had to be easy task, but I cant achieve the goal. Is it an issue that this variable is in var set? 

Could you please help me to find an easy solution?

Thank you

Tina

It should work, if you write client script on variable set too.

Refer below screenshots.

@FotinaG ,

I have tried this on PDI and its working.

Please try this on change client script for that particular field.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }

    var selectedDate = new Date(newValue);
    var now = new Date();

    // Normalize for comparison
    selectedDate.setSeconds(0, 0);
    now.setSeconds(0, 0);

    if (selectedDate > now) {
        // Get user's session language (defaults to English if not found)
        var userLang = (typeof g_user_language !== 'undefined' && g_user_language) 
            ? g_user_language 
            : 'en';

        // Default message
        var msg = "Date cannot be in the future.";

        // Add translations
        if (userLang.startsWith('fr')) {
            msg = "La date ne peut pas être dans le futur.";
        } else if (userLang.startsWith('de')) {
            msg = "Das Datum darf nicht in der Zukunft liegen.";
        }
        // Add more languages if needed

        // Show message in alert
        alert(msg);

        // Clear the invalid value
        g_form.setValue(control.name, '');
    }
}

Hello @Shashank_Jain ,

Thank you so much for your time, I tried it in my record producer, but it didnt work, should i create this client script in variable set where my Data/Time field is? Or this client script should be in Catalog item? Should I add my ral var name somewhere in code or just set Varible name in client script field after Type on Change?

Thank you so much again for your precisous time at such late evening.

@FotinaG ,

I guess you should give it a try on variable set client script and select the field on client script itself.

It should work.
