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.

Hi @FotinaG 

if it’s a form on portal, then it must be CATALOG client scrip applied on the variable set.

client script (backend/workspace) x catalog client script (portal/employee centre)

also you will need to create two catalog client scripts (!!!): an onChange to display the error message upon populating the field and onSubmit to abort submission if the value is still in the future ignoring the message.

or it can be done with one script but the onSubmit is more important. So perhaps that and field message to inform not to insert future date..

@GlideFather Thank you for your reply, yes I do it in catalog client script, thank you for the hint regarding onSubmit, will test it with both script 🙂

@FotinaG 

you should create catalog client script onChange of that date variable.

what did you start and where are you stuck?

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar,

Thank you, I am trying with Shashank_Jain code, just updated it a little bit, but didnt work, just no behavior in form:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    var selectedDate = new Date(newValue);

    var now = new Date();

    selectedDate.setSeconds(0, 0);

    now.setSeconds(0, 0);

    if (selectedDate > now) {

        alert('The date cannot be in the future');

        // Clear the invalid value

        g_form.setValue(MYVARIABLE, '');

    }

}
