Not to close Close change task if the planned start date is in the past

HI @SamJam ,
I trust you are doing great.
You can create onbefore BR using below configuration

1. • Name: "Prevent Close if Planned Start in Past"
   • Table: "Change Task"
   • When: "Before"
   • Insert/Update: Check "Update"
   • Filter Conditions: "State changes to Closed"

2. Advanced: Check the "Advanced" checkbox.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
    // Check if Planned Start is in the past
    var plannedStart = new GlideDateTime(current.planned_start);
    var now = new GlideDateTime();

    if (plannedStart.before(now)) {
        // Prevent the change task from being closed
        current.setAbortAction(true);
        gs.addErrorMessage("Cannot close the Change Task as the Planned Start date is in the past.");
    }
})(current, previous);

They should not be able to close the CTASK before the date specified in the planned start date.

Hi @SamJam,

Create a onSubmit Client script:

function onSubmit() {
var startDate = g_form.getValue("start_date");
var nowDate =  Number(new Date());
var format = g_user_date_time_format;
var state = g_form.getValue('state');
if (state == 3 || state == 4){
	
	if (startDate === "")
	return true;
	
	// get date strings into a number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01
	var startDateMs = getDateFromFormat(startDate, format);
	var nowMs = getDateFromFormat(nowDate, format);
	
	if (startDateMs < nowMs)
	return true;
	
	g_form.clearMessages();
	
	if (startDateMs > nowMs) {
		g_form.addErrorMessage(new GwtMessage().getMessage("You cannot close the task before the planned start date"));
		
		return false;
		
	}
}
else{
	return true;
}
}
