How to check the start date that is 30 days prior

[mattrom1]

We have a requirement that checks the start date field to see if it is within 30 days prior or less.

For example:

If user selects 11/9/2019 it would fail, 11/10/2019 is fine and any date after is fine.

Hi Matt,

Can you share the script or screenshot here?

This works in my script. It takes care of the user date format as well

I did it within the ui policy....Start Date relative to 30 days on or before...Can you share how you do it?

Hi Matt,

yes the condition seems good; did you try to add alert in the execute if true script to know whether it is satisfying; also add alert in execute if false script

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

I was able to get it.. i dug down on an existing code and saw it went ot a script include. which i was able to find the function for getDateTimeBeforeNow and edited a script

//Checks to make sure start date inputted is not before today's date
function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

var cdt = g_form.getValue('start_date'); //First Date/Time field
var dttype = 'day'; //this can be day, hour, minute, second. By default it will return seconds.
var ajax = new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils');

ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getDateTimeBeforeNow');
ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt', cdt);
ajax.addParam('sysparm_difftype', dttype);
ajax.getXML(doSomething);

function doSomething(response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

if(answer > 30){

alert("Start date cannot be more than 30 days from todays date.");
g_form.clearValue('start_date');
}

}
}
