How to restrict date variable to only allow selecting a date that is 5 days from today and onwards?

Hi,

Please help me script. I have date field named startdate, but I need for users not to be able to select any date before 5 days from today.

Thanks!

Here's my OnChange Client Script that calls the same Script Includes (with the original name however) requiring that a due date is greater than 5 days out (note it is in seconds):

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }
 
 
  var cdt = g_form.getValue('due_date'); //First Date/Time field 
 
  var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils'); 
  ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTimeDiff'); 
  ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt', cdt); 
  ajax.getXML(doSomething); 
 
  function doSomething(response){ 
  var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer"); 
  //5 days out
	  if (answer < 431000)
  {
  alert('The lead time to process this request is 5 days.' + '\n' +  'If this is an urgent request please contact the Service Desk for assistance escalating this request.');
	  //alert('The date value cannot be before 5 days into the future. Please correct.');
  //g_form.clearValue("due_date");
  }
  
  }
}

Shane, I'm having similar situation. Can you please help me in blocking future two weeks from the current date and all the past dates.
