Hi @vamshi2 ,

You can create client script and call script include and set the valid to in KB article,

Here i didnt set the valid to field if you want uncomment the line number 15

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

    var ga = new GlideAjax('getTodaysDate');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getDate');
    ga.getXML(getResponse);

}

function getResponse(response) {
    var ans = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
    alert('ans1' + ans);
    //g_form.setValue('valid_to',ans); to set valid to field
    if (g_form.getValue('valid_to') > ans) {
        //checking if valid to selected is more than a year
        alert('Valid to cannot be more than 1 year from now');
        g_form.clearValue('valid_to');
    }

}

Script Include:

var getTodaysDate = Class.create();
getTodaysDate.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

	getDate: function(){
		var todayDate = new GlideDate();
		todayDate.addYears(1);
		gs.info('today Date' + todayDate);
		return todayDate;

	},

    type: 'getTodaysDate'
});

Yes above is working in PDI but in our instance it is not working
