Start Date cannot be in the past

[sonita]

What I'm trying to accomplish is that: Start Date cannot be in the past

This is my script:

but my problem is that , I need to be able to select today's date as well, but with this script it doesn't let me .

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

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

          return;

    }

var today = new Date().getTime();

  var start = new Date(g_form.getValue('start_date'));

  g_form.hideFieldMsg('start_date', true);

  if(start<today)

  {

  g_form.showFieldMsg('start_date','Start date cannot be in the past','error');

  g_form.clearValue('start_date');

  }

}

Try calling "getTime()" on your start variable:

var start = new Date(g_form.getValue('start_date')).getTime();

Hi,

I created a Script include to achieve this functionality.

1) Create a Script include with name 'CompareDateTime' and following code

var CompareDateTime = Class.create();

CompareDateTime.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

      compareDate: function () {

              var answer = "false";

              var dateOne = this.getParameter('sysparm_date');

              var datetwo = gs.nowDateTime();

  answer = gs.dateDiff(dateOne,datetwo, true);

  if(answer >= 0){

              return 'false' ;

  }

2) Now create a onchange client script on change of your datetime field. In my below example the datetime field name is 'u_termination_date'

var dt1 = g_form.getValue('u_termination_date');

var glideAJ = new GlideAjax('CompareDateTime');

glideAJ.addParam('sysparm_name' , 'compareDate');

glideAJ.addParam('sysparm_date', dt1);

glideAJ.getXML(callBack);

function callBack(response){

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

  if(answer =='false')

  {

    g_form.showErrorBox('u_termination_date' , 'Termination date time should be greater than current date time');

  }

  }

You should be able to use: var start = g_form.getValue('start_date')

Write a UI policy with the following condition :

Write following script :

function onCondition() {

      g_form.setValue('date_of_joining', '');

      alert("Enter valid date");

}

This is working fine for me. Try it.
