Time fields validation

[scottangehr]

Hello friends

Happy Knowledge week!  How all is well.

I have an ask that I'm having a slight issue trying to make happen.

I have a Record Producer with variables that I need to make sure each variable is after the next.

These fields are string fields with the validation regex as Time (00:00) 24 hr.

I need there to be a validation and error that the field entered is after the previous field.

Meal Out should be after Time In
Meal In should be after Time In & Meal Out
Time Out should be after Time In, Meal Out, & Meal In

I originally created these fields as Date/Time but the business only wanted times

Being that they are string fields, is sounds like you'll need to take the date selected and value entered and call a script include via ajax to do the date/time validation. If it doesn't validate, you'll have to throw an error on the field and clear the value. It's a little messy but seems doable.

If you can convince the customer to go w/ a date/time field, all you need are UI Policies. Winner!

I did try to convince them. 😂
I need to show that 17:30 is after 17:29, etc. There is no date needed.

So since no date is needed, then everything is expected to happen 'today'?

Meaning, I can't submit a request for a day in the past.

I only ask cause when doing the comparisons, the Date/Time API might need a date...maybe

When I did have them as Date/Time fields, I had a validation script which took care of this. 
They are using these as a time card punch correction form.

I was thinking/hoping there was a something similar to this for a numeric string in time format.

if (startTime.getTime() >= endTime.getTime()) {
