Planned start date must be after current date

[Black Coder]

In the change request I have to validate the Planned start date that it should be after the current date. I was able to create the Field level error message whenever the planned start date is earlier than the current date. But regardless of that field-level error, when a user submits the form, the wrong value is getting updated.

How can we prevent the user from submitting a form if the planned start date is selected with earliar date

Hi there,

Have you considered using a (Catalog) UI Policy to achieve date validations? There's almost no-code needed to achieve date validations this way. Have a look at an article I wrote on this:
No Code date validations thru (Catalog) UI Policies

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

Hi,

you should be using before insert/update BR to stop the form submissions

Condition: Planned Start Date Changes AND Planned Start Date is not empty

Script:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here

var start = new GlideDateTime(current.start_date);

var nowTime = new GlideDateTime();

if(start.getNumericValue() < nowTime.getNumericValue()){

gs.addErrorMessage('Planned start date cannot be earlier than current time');
current.setAbortAction(true);

}

})(current, previous);

Hi,

to stop form submission you should be using onSubmit or before business rule

convert your client script to onSubmit and it should work fine
