Hi @Vijaykumar K 

We can set valid to on Knowledge base level and if a user want to change, you can set the UI policy for same.

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG  thanks for the suggestion. But what will be the behaviour of existing kb articles validity if we enter Knowledge base validity now.

Hi Vijay,

you can create a before insert/update Business rule with condition "Valid To" changes and add the below script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    var currentDay =  new GlideDate();

    currentDay.addYears(1);

    if(current.valid_to > currentDay.getDate()){

        current.setAbortAction(true);

        gs.addErrorMessage("add a date with 1 year");

    }

    gs.info("checkdate"+currentDay.getDate());

})(current, previous);

If my answer helped you. Please mark my answer correct or helpful.
