How to require delivery date at least 1 week out from date requested

[Jeremy F_]

Hello Community,

I need to limit the delivery date for a request to at least 1 week out from the date the item is requested. Below is the client script I'm using. It works for dates that are 7-8 days out from the request submission date, but does not work for dates that are further out than that. If today's date is 11/6, then it should allow me to request delivery on 11/28, but it will not accept that date. I get the message "Allow 1 week for delivery" even though 11/28 is easily farther out than 1 week.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

    var cdt=g_form.getValue('delivery_completion_date'); //Date/Time field

    var dttype='day'; //format of time - minute, hour, day, default is seconds

    var ajax=new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils'); //OOB Script Include

    ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTimeDiff');

    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 <='7'){

            alert("Allow 1 week for delivery.");

            g_form.setValue('delivery_completion_date','');

        }

        }

    }

@Jeremy F_ Try updating your script as follows and see if it works for you.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
   
    var cdt=g_form.getValue('delivery_completion_date'); //Date/Time field
    var dttype='day'; //format of time - minute, hour, day, default is seconds
   
    var ajax=new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils'); //OOB Script Include
    ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTimeDiff');
    ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt',cdt);
    ajax.addParam('sysparm_difftype',dttype);
    ajax.getXML(doSomething);
   
    function doSomething(response){
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        if(parseInt(answer) <=7){
            alert("Allow 1 week for delivery.");
            g_form.setValue('delivery_completion_date','');
           
        }
        }
    }

In case if the above change doesn't work then please share your script include code which is comparing the dates.

Any date past 7 days from the current date should be available to select, but it doesn't work that way. If I choose a day 14 days out, it won't allow me to select that date.

Current script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

        return;

    }

    var cdt=g_form.getValue('delivery_completion_date'); //Date/Time field

    var dttype='day'; //format of time - minute, hour, day, default is seconds

    var ajax=new GlideAjax('ClientDateTimeUtils'); //OOB Script Include

    ajax.addParam('sysparm_name','getNowDateTimeDiff');

    ajax.addParam('sysparm_fdt',cdt);

    ajax.addParam('sysparm_difftype',dttype);

    ajax.getXML(doSomething);

    function doSomething(response){

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

        if(parseInt(answer) <=7){

            alert("Allow 1 week for delivery.");

            g_form.setValue('delivery_completion_date','');

        }

        }

    }
