Hello,

Following script may be helpful.

Proceed with an before BR, with condition state changes to published (if so, you can remove the first if condition)

    // Validate the publish date when the Publish button is clicked

    if (current.state == 'published') { // Assuming 'published' is the state for Publish button

        var createdDate = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_created_on);

        var publishDate = new GlideDateTime(current.valid_to);

        var oneYearFromCreated = new GlideDateTime(current.sys_created_on);

        oneYearFromCreated.addYearsUTC(1); // Add one year to the created date

        // Check if the valid_to date is within one year of the created date

        if (publishDate.after(oneYearFromCreated) || publishDate.before(createdDate)) {

            gs.addErrorMessage("The 'Valid To' date must be within one year from the created date and cannot be earlier than the created date.");

            current.setAbortAction(true); // Prevent the record from being saved

        }

    }
