How to restrict the past dates selection on date field

[poornima batchu]

Hi all, 

I need to restrict the past dates selection on the date field (Start_date). Fo this I created a Ui policy in when to apply I gave condition as Start_date before Today.  In the scripting I have added a error message it's working fine but...if I open any existing cases in system that is already having the value of start_date it is showing up the error message on the case for the Active and Inactive cases also.

What is the solution so that the pop should show up only for Active cases where the start_date value is empty.

Hi @poornima batchu ,

Here is the Sample Script, please change to fit your requirement:

Script Include:

Name:DateValidation

Client callable: Checked

var DateValidation = Class.create();

DateValidation.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

  validateDate: function() {

  var ActualEndDate = this.getParameter('sysparm_end_date');

  return gs.dateDiff(gs.now(),ActualEndDate, true)/86400;

  },

      type: 'DateValidation'

});

Client Script:

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

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

              return;

      }

      var ga = new GlideAjax('DateValidation');

      ga.addParam('sysparm_name','validateDate');

      ga.addParam('sysparm_end_date',g_form.getValue('u_business_need_by_date'));//give your date field

      ga.getXML(ProcessResult);

      function ProcessResult(response) {

              var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

              if (answer < 0)

                      {

                      g_form.clearValue('u_business_need_by_date'); //give your date field

                      alert('Business need date should not be in the Past.');

              }

      }

}

Hi there,

Please share details of what you tried and what is not working.

Kind regards,
Mark

In ui policy I tried this but this error message should not show up for the existing cases in the system where the  date value is already given

And what if you change the onLoad checkbox?

Kind regards,
Mark
