Validate a date field AND check that it falls within a certain range?

[scottn]

This forum has been incredibly helpful to me, so here I am again, with another question.   🙂

I'm trying to test whether a user-entered date in a record producer falls within a specific range. Here is the code I have in the "What it will contain" scripting section of the record producer (ignore the UtilityBill section):

This code works great if the user enters a date. But if the user puts in random characters or random numbers, the code thinks it falls within the range as well.

Any thoughts on ways I can make sure the user-entered date is a true date AND falls within my range?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi Scott,

You can validate the date with the help of catalog client script. Please refer the below thread for reference.

Hey Scott,

Why not use variable type 'Date' so the user is forced to select a properly formatted date? This way you are not having to mess w/ random characters and such
