[Help] How to create a Pop up error message for a variable in catalog items

[SUDCHAK]

If a variable of type date/ time or just date is created then in the client scripts what should be coded if the user enters previous/future date where the variable accepts only future/previous date, for this an error message should pop up just around the variable field?

Hi @SUDCHAK ,

U can create a UI policy for this mentioning in the condition if date field is before today . Then go to ur script tab n select run for all n under when condition is true u can specify the alert or field message

Thanks,

Hi @SUDCHAK ,

In order to showcase error for a respective field u can try this

g_form.showFieldMsg('variable_name','Enter your message here','error');

But that is for applying conditions, here my requirement is to make appear a pop-up error message if a wrong entry in date/time or just date variable is made, which should appear just above or below the variable field.

Hello @SUDCHAK,

Firstly decide whether you want to restrict past dates or future and then Yes you can display the error message next to the variable and for that you can refer this "How to display error message next to a variable in the Service Catalog" community post as well.

Display Field Message (error) when past date selected on Date Type Variable
