How can I limit a DATE field from being populated with invalid dates

[Hola Ola]

Happy Friday All, 

How can I prevent users from populating a DATE field with a date No Less That 5 Business Days (7 Total days from today) and No More Than 10 Business days (14 Total days from today).

Thank you for your anticipated help.

Preventing date selection involves DOM manipulation which is not so good practice. Instead, create a UI policy with conditions as below: 

1. Date<Date variable name> is before 7 days OR Date<Date variable name> is after 10 days

Create a Ui Policy action to clear the field value and display a field message if the above condition is met.

This will simply the logic and keep the solution clean.

Hello @Ravi Peddineni 

Thank you for your response. However, it is still not working as desired. Perhaps something that I'm doing wrong. 

I have the conditions this way:

Date field<variable_name>Relative>After>7>Days>From Now 

Also, I should mention that I want the days that can be chosen to ONLY be between 7days and 14days (just a 2-week period) - Nothing Less and Nothing More

Script:

function onCondition() {
g_form.clearValue(period_duration_required_for_the_requested_access);
g_form.showErrorBox('period_duration_required_for_the_requested_access', getMessage('Date should be 7 - 14 days in the future'));
}

Again, thank you for your assitance.

@Hola Ola 

There's a syntax error in your code. Below is the corrected code:

function onCondition() {
    g_form.clearValue('period_duration_required_for_the_requested_access'); //Did not use the single quotes in your code
    g_form.showErrorBox('period_duration_required_for_the_requested_access', getMessage('Date should be 7 - 14 days in 
    the future'));
}

Also make sure to use below conditions on UI Policy:

Suggestion: To avoid scripting, Create a UI Policy Action and configure as shown below:

Hello @Ravi Peddineni 
Apologies for the bother, something is still not right here.

My UI Policy Action only has these fields, which limits my configuration option (unless I don't know how to get the extra fields as shown in your example)

Also, here are my Conditions, as shown by you: 

And my Script:

function onCondition() {
g_form.clearValue(period_duration_required_for_the_requested_access);
g_form.showErrorBox('period_duration_required_for_the_requested_access', getMessage('Date should be 7 - 14 days in the future'));
}

None seem to be working.
