Hi there,

What's the reason for asking for a Client Script? You could achieve such a condition using zero code: UI Policy.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Hi Mark,

Actually I have tried this with UI policy but its not working on Service Portal form.

Hi Prachi,

Would appreciate if what has been done is shared with us.

I'm a little bit confused by "today". Is the question about comparing a date field with today and hiding a field if the date is after today's date? If the question is about comparing the system assigned "Created" (sys_created_on) date, it would always be false because the "Created" will always be before or on today.

Example of UI Policy to compare a field of type date with today and hiding a field if the date is after today.

1. Created 2 variables as below. Field "Today" will contain a date and Field "Field to hide" will be hidden based on value of field "Today".

2. Defined UI Policy as follows:

3. Defined Policy action as follows:

Execution results:

Case 1: Date is today. Field "Field to hide" is displayed because the condition to hide is "after" today.

Case 2: Date is tomorrow. Field "Field to hide" is hidden.

Hi Hitoshi,

Thank you for your reply, my query is I don't want to show one field in future cases. The field should be visible on all past cases but it should be hidden from tomorrow in all future cases.

To achieve this I was writing UI policy on Created field  but it is not working.
