Hi,

 

I have written onchange client script, below is my script

 

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

    if (isLoading || newValue === '')
        return;

    if (newValue == oldValue)
        return;

    var format = g_user_date_time_format; // or g_user_date_format
    var dateMs = getDateFromFormat(newValue, format);

    var selectedDate = new Date(dateMs);
    selectedDate.setHours(0,0,0,0);

    var today = new Date();
    today.setHours(0,0,0,0);

    if (selectedDate < today) {

        g_form.clearValue('due_date');

        setTimeout(function() {
            g_form.showFieldMsg(
                'due_date',
                'Past dates are not allowed. Please select Today or Future.',
                'error'
            );
        }, 100);

    } else {
        g_form.hideFieldMsg('due_date');
    }
}

 

Code is working fine in Native view, when I am working on SOW it is not working.  

 

Field is due_date and Type is Date/Time

this UI policy worked for me in both

Even if you give 1 min in past it gives error

I have created new UI Policy, It is working fine

 

I have query here:

I have entered Due Date as 16/02/2026 07:09:22, After saving this it is allowed me , working fine.

 

Now After 2 minutes if I come to same Problem record, it is showing error message.

 

what can I do here?

Glad to know that my approach worked

uncheck the onLoad checkbox for your UI policy

Hello @Sriram Pusuluri ,

 

The solution proposed by @Ankur Bawiskar looks better.

But for your script you mention, can you please verify if the UI Type of the script is set to "All"?
