Here is how you can validate date through ui policy 

No Code date validations through (Catalog) UI Poli... - ServiceNow Community

For the check on name try this

Create onChange Client Script on that particular field.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }
    var field = g_form.getValue('fieldname');
    if (!field.match(/^[A-Za-z ]*$/)) {
        alert('Please enter only text');
        g_form.clearValue('fieldname');
        return false;
    }
}

Hi @sravya Attluri 

For the 2nd one, use Catalog UI Policy

For 1st one, you need to regex code.

Hello Sravya, 

In one hand, I will create a regex validation rule inside Service Catalog  > Variables > Validation Regex, and I'll add a new regex rule for checking if it's only characters on that name field, this regex can work: [a-zA-Z]. Check this link: https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-articles/service-portal-catalog-items-regex-field-val...

In the second hand, I will use the default value inside default value tab and use something as follows: javascript: new GlideDateTime().getDate(). Also if you only want current date, past or future date it's now supposed to be allowed, then make it read only from dictionary definition.
