Does "today" imply a fixed date such as "March 21, 2022" of or "today" as when the form is opened?

If it's the time when the form is opened and field "Created" is of type Date, set the condition to "Created" "after" "today" as I've done in my earlier response.

Hi Prachi,

Don't select the calendar icon. Select the "v" drop-down and select "Today".

The condition should be "Created", "before", "Today" because "Created" will be the date when the record was created. That is, if today's date if after the date when the record was created, then hide the field.

Note, that field "Created" is automatically set by ServiceNow to the date when the record is created. As such, it's not possible to "create" a record in the future date.

Execution results:

case 1: record created today. Field "Field to hide" is visible.

case 2: record created in the pase. Field "Field is hide" is not displayed.

"but its not working"

So what's not working? You are not sharing anything or asking for help on what's not working?

Anyway, here you go, proven mechanism:
- 2019-08-12 No Code date validations thru (Catalog) UI Policies

This can be achieved by UI policy as well:

Condition can be:

Created - after - today

Add ui policy action for the field
