1st:
function onSubmit() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var getJoiningDate=g_form.getValue('u_joining_date'); //get the value of the Joining Date
    var todayDate= new Date();  // Create a Date object for today's date
   var getJoiningDateFormat=new Date(getJoiningDate); //Convert the Joining Date to Date obj
   if(getJoiningDateFormat>todayDate)//Check if the Joining Date is greater than todays date
   {
    g_form.addErrorMessage('Joining date date cannot be in future');
    g_form.clearValue('u_joining_date');
    return false;
   }
}
 
2nd :
function onSubmit() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    var joiningdate = g_form.getValue('u_joining_date');
    var todaydate = new Date();
    var joindateformat = new Date(joiningdate);
    if (joindateformat>todaydate)
    {
        g_form.showFieldMsg('u_joining_date','Joining date date cannot be in future','error');
        g_form.clearValue('u_joining_date');
        return false;
    }
}
1st one is working fine but not second one why? especially this g_form.showFieldMsg('u_joining_date','Joining date date cannot be in future','error');

Hi @patilabhilash 

 

That's because the order of showFieldMsg and clearValue methods

 

first use 

clearValue and then the showFieldMsg and check

 

 g_form.clearValue('u_joining_date');
 g_form.showFieldMsg('u_joining_date', 'Joining date date cannot be in future', 'error');
 
 
coming the date validation refer the already solved problems in case of yours is not working
 
 
 

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.
