Client Script - Start Date + 24 hours

[Jeff Ward]

Hi!

I'm trying to write a simple Client Script that would compare Planned Start Date and Planned End Date for Change Requests to ensure end dates are kept within 24 hours of the start date.

I've tried the below script with and without the parseInt() lines and neither seems to be working correctly. I presume I need to convert the original start_date and end_date values to seconds in order to add 86400 (24 hours in seconds), but I haven't found anything that works with Client Scripts yet.

Is there a simple way to do this, or can this only be done via Inline Scripts?

Thanks!

function onSubmit() {
    var start_date = g_form.getValue('start_date');
	var start_date_int = parseInt(start_date);
    var end_date = g_form.getValue('end_date');
	var end_date_int = parseInt(end_date);
	var add_time = 60*60*24;
	var new_end_date = start_date_int + add_time;
    if (end_date_int > new_end_date) {
        alert("End Date must be within 24 hours of Start Date ");
        return false;
    }
}

Hello,

You can easily do with this UI policy.

Glad you got exact code but UI policy I have shared will work fine as well, I have tested and shared with you, As per best practice it is always recommended to use UI policy over client script. Kindly accept my solution as well if you feel that's helpful 🙂
